Virginia Creeper will live under the black walnut no problemo..........not
to mention morning glory, Lab Lab, Akebia, (that one is perennial) and the
dreaded Honeysuckle. There is a nice one, called black leaf Halls
honeysuckle that is offered at nurseries if you look for it. Our wild and
invasive honeysuckle slugs it out with the Virginia creeper that resides
under one of the many black walnut trees here in Eastern Tennessee.
Hope this helps

I have a section of chain link fence to cover BUT it is right alongside a
black walnut.

Now, I've no intentions of cutting down my beloved black walnut tree but I
REALLY want to cover that section of chain link, preferably with a vine.
Has anyone had any luck getting vines to grow under black walnuts? If so,
what varieties?
