Black walnuts have a strong, rich, smoky flavor with a hint of wine. Use them in any recipe that call for nuts, but unless you’re featuring the black walnut's flavor, use it sparingly, or it will overpower everything else.

The black walnut is a large tree, often more than 100 feet in height, usually developing a full, well-formed trunk with high branches.  The oval crown is quite open.  The black trunk and stems add to its winter charms.  the large, deciduous leaves are pinnately compound.  Its nuts are edible but are encased in a thick green covering that stains the skin, making harvesting difficult.

The black walnut is fast-growing in its youth, so it makes an interesting landscape specimen within a reasonable length of time, and then its growth slows down.  it rarely reaches its maximum height of more than 100 feet in culture unless it is supplied with a deep, rich, moist soil.  It also grows well, but slowly, in dry soils.
