Description
Black Walnut | |||
Description | Black walnut (Juglans nigra) is a large, fragrant deciduous tree. It is highly prized for its lumber. Black walnut is known for its unique leaves, distinct fragence, and its nuts. Black walnuts, harvested in fall, are a wildlife favorite and can be used in dyes and baking. Black walnuts are more bitter than English walnuts. The tree attracts a lot of birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. It is an excellent tree for pastures. *Black walnut is rich in tannins which can kill plants around it unless they are resistant to black walnut. | ||
