Ai acest copac în curte? Atenție! Este extrem de toxic, iar frunzele căzute pot ascunde un pericol neașteptat • Newsweek România

Many Romanians unknowingly have a toxic tree in their yards. The common walnut tree, while valued for its shade and nuts, can pose risks due to its toxic components. Its fallen leaves contain juglone, which can inhibit the growth of nearby plants. Additionally, the tree's large size requires careful planting distance from structures. Despite common myths, resting under a walnut tree is not scientifically proven to be dangerous, but caution is advised regarding falling branches. Regularly clearing fallen leaves is essential to prevent negative effects on grass and sensitive plants. Proper management allows for the benefits of the walnut tree without significant issues.
