(Juglans nigra)
This stately hardwood grows well in pastures, meadows, and slopes.
Walnuts are valued for their beautiful wood and their tasty nuts, which they produce in copious quantities in the Autumn.
Walnut is one of the finest woods in the world. The warm brown wood finishes beautifully. It is easy to work, yet durable. It shrinks and swells less than any other wood, which makes it prized by woodworkers.
Black walnuts are extremely easy to grow from their nuts -- just ask the squirrels, who have planted vast groves on our farm!
YOU MAY ORDER BLACK WALNUT TREE SEEDS NOW, BUT BE AWARE THAT THEY WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL WE HARVEST THE 2011 CROP IN LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL.
