Home -> Shop By Store -> Black WalnutBlack WalnutOther Common Names:Butternut, Oil nut Black Walnut The Black Walnut tree, Juglans nigra, is prized for its wood and shade. Black Walnut trees are a large, moderately growing, majestic tree. This deciduous tree makes a wonderful shade tree, and when planted for a wood plantation, makes a great long-term investment. This tree has moderate water requirements and is tolerant to drought. It has massive, upright spreading, open branches. The nuts are large and plump and crack out of the shell easily. The roots of the black walnut produce a substance known as juglone (5-hydroxy-alpha-napthaquinone). This biochemical is toxic to many plants such as the tomato, potato, black and blue berries, and other plants that may grow within a 50 to 60 foot radius of the trunk. Not all plants are sensitive to juglone and many trees, vines, shrubs, and flowers will thrive in close proximity to a Black Walnut tree Introduction Black Walnut known as the fungus terminator, black walnut is a potent treatment for a variety of ills. The inner bark and the root are the medicinal portions. Walnut root was formerly recommended in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia. On the living tree, the inner bark when first uncovered is of a pure white, which rapidly changes to a lemon color, then deep brown. It has a fibrous texture, a feeble odor, and a bitter taste. The bark has been valued as one of the mildest and most certain laxatives given us by nature. |
