Arre, walnut trees release juglone from their roots and leaves, a toxic chemical that wilts nearby plants to reduce competition—eucalyptus does similar with oils that stop other seeds from germinating. But calling it 'poison' feels harsh, yaar; in a natural forest, it's just balance. My fight is against monoculture plantations where these chemicals become weapons, wiping out entire native undergrowth for profit. I know this because near Prayagraj, I've seen eucalyptus blocks turn the soil barren and lonely, just like how a single big mall kills all the small shops like my father's.
