Sweet Joe Pye Weed is juglone tolerant. Are other Joe Pye Weeds juglone tolerant, as well?
Tall Joe and regular Joe Pye Weed are "full sun" species, and therefore are not likely to be adapted to environments where Black Walnut trees are found growing naturally. These typically grow in sunny, marshy areas in the wild. A list of our Juglone tolerant natives can be found on here.
