Product Overview
Hardiness zones 4-9
This magnificent shade tree reaching 75-100' comes to us from the rich woods and streambeds of the eastern United States. It is a beautiful tree with deeply-furrowed bark and large compound leaves which release a strong, spicy scent when crushed. This is an endlessly useful tree for food, dye and timber. The straight-grained wood has traditionally been used for cradles, furniture and gunstocks. The nutmeat is considered by many to have the best flavor; however, extracting the nut can be quite difficult. Black walnut trees can also be tapped like a maple and the sap drunk or concentrated in syrup. These wonderful heritage trees tend to be messy and they secrete toxins into the soil which are harmful to some other plants, so they are best planted out in the back of the property. S/M
