Black Walnut

Black Walnut

Juglans nigra - #7

Wood from this tree is sometimes referred to as “gun-wood” because of its extensive use for gunstocks. Its chocolate-brown heartwood also is valuable for furniture. Since colonial times, it has been considered the queen of American cabinet woods.

The husk of the nut was used by pioneers to make a dye, and the delicious nuts are a favorite of people and wildlife.
