Description
Juglans nigra
Black walnut is a large, broadleaf tree which can reach 30–40m high. In Britain, Black Walnut thrives best in warmer regions towards the south. It prefers fertile, lowland soil and needs plenty of light.
Squirrels and some birds feed off the nuts while the flesh is still green and the husk easier to penetrate.
Black walnuts are one of the most flavourful nuts for snacking, baking, and cooking. These hard-shelled fruits have a sweet, delicate walnut flavour and are one of the most expensive nuts on the market.
The wood of walnut trees is prized by woodworkers. Well known for its characteristic dark coloured wood with attractive grain patterns, Walnut is a dense and strong wood that is highly desired for expensive furniture commonly used for furniture, musical instruments, carvings, trims and veneers
Walnut trees are associated with intelligence, wisdom, knowledge, and inspiration.
