Black Walnut Tree (juglans nigra)

Tall, strong and sturdy. But almost tropical looking. The leaves swaying in a palm tree island, type of way.

The black walnut has a unique flavour. Smokey, bold, hearty and tasty.
Once you have cracked the nut from the shell, go ahead and eat them raw or in your favourite cake or cookies. Yum!

Pick up soft green golfball size husks. Some bigger when the weather conditions are right, throughout your growing year.
If you have enough trees producing nuts then selling the nuts can be profitable too.
