Black Walnut - North America’s Most Valuable Native Tree

Why Black Walnut?

The black walnut is a medium-sized tree, ranging from 70 to 90 feet tall. Its widely spread branches form a massive crown ideal for providing the perfect shade in your backyard. The thick brown bark has deep burrows and narrow ridges that form a diamond pattern which adds to its alluring beauty.

 

Discovered by early settlers in Canada and Northern Florida, Juglans nigra heartwood was highly-priced for its rich brown color and durability. Since then, it has been used in making furniture, fence posts, poles, and shingles.

 

Popular in native groups, the bark of black Walnut was used in tea as a laxative and chewed for toothaches. The bark was also used to make black and brown dyes, treat athlete's foot, and act as an insecticide.

 

Despite its many advantages, the black walnut tree roots exude a natural herbicide called juglone. It limits the growth of surrounding trees, thus, lowering competition.

Pollination Information

Pollination of Black Walnut Tree (Juglans nigra):

Black Walnut flowers are monoecious, meaning they have separate male and female flowers on the same tree. The male catkins release pollen, which is carried by the wind to the female flowers for pollination. Once pollinated, the female flowers develop into green fruits that contain the edible nuts. Black Walnut nuts are highly prized for their flavor and are widely used in baking and cooking. The trees are valuable for timber, providing high-quality wood for furniture, flooring, and other applications. Black Walnut trees are an essential component of forest ecosystems, supporting diverse wildlife and providing food and shelter for animals such as squirrels, deer, and birds. Conservation efforts aim to protect this species from threats like walnut wilt and ensure the long-term sustainability of Black Walnut resources.

Fertilization

Fertilization

It is generally recommended to wait to fertilize a bare root plant until it has been established in the ground and is actively growing. This can vary depending on the type of plant and the growing conditions, but it is generally best to wait at least a few weeks to a few months after planting.

During the first year, you should focus on providing the plant with the right amount of water, sunlight and soil to help it become established. Once the plant has become established and is actively growing, you can begin to fertilize it.

You can use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer or one that is specifically formulated for the type of plant you have. Be sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer package and apply it at the recommended rate.

It is also important to note that over-fertilizing can be harmful to plants, so it's always best to error on the side of caution and start with a lower amount of fertilizer and increase as needed.
