Anner,
I do not know about the compost qualities of black walnut, but, should =
you have a pond, it will mean death to the fish and plants in the pond =
should you have a black walnut nearby. Also, as you mention, butternut =
is another such tree, and so is a weeping willow. There are others, but =
I do not happen to have a list handy tonight that includes all those =
that should not be planted near a pond. I would suspect that all those =
on the list would also be verboten in the compost pile as well.

Black Walnuts (Juglans nigra)and the closely related butternut (Juglens
