Black walnut – Juglans nigra
€7.50
Tax included
The fast-growing American walnut, valued as much for its nuts as for its high-value timber. Very hardy, it fits perfectly in large orchards at altitude.
Native to North America, the black walnut grows faster than the common walnut and becomes a majestic tree. Its very hard-shelled nuts stay sound for a long time, even after falling to the ground. The kernel is edible, with a stronger, slightly bitter flavour.
