Black walnut wood has a beautiful red-black grain with a fine, silky sheen. As a particularly hard and durable wood, it is used in the automotive industry for fine fittings and in exquisite furniture making.
The black walnut belongs to the walnut family (juglandaceae).
The deciduous black walnut is an impressive natural beauty: in the wild, it can grow up to 50 meters tall, with main branches spreading up to 30 meters in a rounded crown. The trunk is covered in dark brown, almost black, furrowed, deeply cracked bark, hence its name: black walnut. The leaves, up to 60 cm long, are unevenly pinnate, with irregularly serrated leaf edges. In autumn, they turn a magnificent yellow.
In June, female flowers form, which stand in upright spikes on this year's branches, and male flowers, which hang on last year's branches.
The fruits of the black walnut are colloquially called nuts, but they are actually single-seeded drupes. The seeds are encased in a rough, initially green outer shell up to 6 cm thick. As soon as the fallen fruits land on the ground, the outer shell rots and turns black. The edible nuts of the black walnut are thick-shelled, very hard, small, and spoil quickly.
