Juglans nigra, the eastern American black walnut, is a species of deciduous tree in the walnut family, Juglandaceae, native to North America. It grows mostly in riparian zones, from southern Ontario, west to southeast South Dakota, south to Georgia, northern Florida and southwest to central Texas. Wild trees in the upper Ottawa Valley may be an isolated native population or may have derived from planted trees.
Black walnut is an important tree commercially, as the wood is a deep brown color and easily worked. Walnut seeds (nuts) are cultivated for their distinctive and desirable taste. Walnut trees are grown both for lumber and food, and many cultivars have been developed for improved quality wood or nuts. Black walnut is susceptible to thousand cankers disease that provoked a decline of walnut trees in some regions.
Black walnut is known for being allelopathic, which means that it releases chemicals from its roots and other tissues that harm other organisms and give the tree a competitive advantage.

BLACK WALNUTS FACTS
The black walnut tree, with the scientific name of Juglans nigra, was introduced to Europe in the mid-1600s, but it has not spread beyond America and Europe. It grows mostly in riparian zones, from southern Ontario, west to southeast South Dakota, south to Georgia, northern Florida, and southwest to central Texas. Wild trees in the upper Ottawa Valley may be an isolated native population or may have derived from planted trees. Black walnuts are popular food sources in both America and Europe and can be found in everything from candy, ice cream, fudge, and salads, as well as chicken, pork, and pasta dishes. Most parts of the tree including leaves, stems, and fruit husks have a very characteristic pungent or spicy odor. Fruiting may begin when the tree is 4–6 years old; however large crops take 20 years. A green rounded husk, 1½-2½ inches across, covers the round, hard, bony, dark brown, or black nut. The kernel is oily, sweet, and edible.

Black walnut is actually a large deciduous hardwood tree growing up to 70 feet tall and 70 feet wide. It is found growing along roadsides, fields, and forest edges in the eastern US. It will grow in closed forests, but is classified as shade intolerant; this means it needs full sun for optimal growth and nut production. It prefers deep, fertile soil with a near-neutral or slightly acidic ph. It also tolerates relatively dry, poor soils, but with a considerably reduced growth rate. The black walnut tree has a deep & strong taproot as long as 10 feet with typically grey-black bark and is deeply furrowed into thin ridges which gives the bark a diamond-shaped pattern. It has a huge trunk. Under forest competition, it develops a tall and straight trunk and when grown in an open area it has a short trunk and broad crown. Leaves are alternate, compound, 1–2 feet long, with 11–23 leaflets. Leaflets are 3–5 inches long, 1–2 inches wide, broadest below the middle, the end leaflet is smaller than side ones or absent; margin toothed. The leaves are overall dark green in color and are typically paler, hairy on the underside. Flowers are monoecious. The male (staminate) flowers are in drooping catkins 8–10 cm (3 1⁄4–4 in) long. These are borne from axillary buds on the previous year’s growth. The female flowers are terminal, in clusters of two to five on the current year’s growth. Flowering normally takes place from April to May.
Odor Most parts of the tree including leaves, stems, and fruit husks have a very characteristic pungent or spicy odor. This odor is lacking in the nut itself.[rx][rx]
Trunk Height 30–40 m (100–130 ft). Under forest competition, it develops a tall and straight trunk. When grown in an open area it has a short trunk and broad crown.[rx]
Bark The bark is typically grey-black and deeply furrowed into thin ridges that give the bark a diamond-shaped pattern.[rx]
Pith The pith of the twigs is chambered and light brown.[rx]
Buds The buds are pale silky and covered in downy hairs. The terminal buds are ovate, and 8 mm (5⁄16 in) long, and slightly longer than broad, the lateral buds are smaller and superposed.[rx]
Leaves The leaves are pinnately compound and alternately arranged on the stem. They are 30–60 cm (1–2 ft) long, typically even-pinnate but there is heavy variation among leaves. The stems have 15–23 leaflets, when the terminal leaf is included, with the largest leaflets located in the center, 7–10 cm (2+3⁄4–4 in) long and 2–3 cm (3⁄4–1+1⁄4 in) broad.[rx] The leaflets have a rounded base and a long pointed (acuminate) tip as well as having a serrated edge.[rx] The leaves are overall dark green in color and are typically hairy on the underside.
Leaf scar The leaf scar has 3 prominent bundle scars[rx] and has a notch on the side that points toward the tip of the branch (distal side)
Flowers Black walnut is monoecious. The male (staminate) flowers are in drooping catkins 8–10 cm (3+1⁄4–4 in) long. These are borne from axillary buds on the previous year’s growth. The female (pistillate) flowers are terminal, in clusters of two to five on the current year’s growth.[rx]
Fruit Ripens during the summer/
Fruit
The fruit of Black Walnut is made of an inner kernel, enclosed by a hard corrugated round shell composed of two fused halves. This in turn is surrounded by a thick outer husk that is green when immature, and yellow-black when ripe. If ripe fruits are picked up, a brown-black dye will easily seep from the moist husk into the skin of your hand, rendering them stained for a couple of days. The kernel is oily, sweet, and edible. It has a robust, distinctive, natural flavor and the peak season of the black walnut is from September to October. Fruiting may begin when the tree is 4–6 years old; however large crops take 20 years. Since black walnuts are popular food sources in both America and Europe, it can be found in everything from candy, ice cream, fudge, and salads, as well as chicken, pork, and pasta dishes.
History
Black walnut is native to eastern North America, where it grows, mostly alongside river banks, from southern Ontario, South Dakota, Northern Florida, Central Texas and even in Canada Black walnut trees are found in forests and are now also cultivated even in Europe for its high-quality wood and nuts. Black walnut has a long history of use even from ancient times as a wood source and for its delicious nuts. Currently, it is grown throughout the world because of its wonderful nutritional value.

Health Benefits of Black Walnut
Also known as Juglans nigra, this dark-colored nut originated from North America. Dating back to thousands of years ago, Native Americans, as well as Romans, considered it extremely prized for its ability to treat intestinal problems as well as skin disorders. Here’s a close look at the health benefits of black walnut
1. Cancer
Several direct types of research have been done on the anti-cancer effects of black walnuts, and the results have been very promising so far. The organic compound juglone found in black walnut, along with many other polyphenolic compounds and fatty acids, contributes to anti-tumor and anti-carcinogenic activity within the body, slowing the growth or preventing the development of numerous types of cancer.(1)
2. Antifungal Action
Candida albicans is a very common agent in the body that causes yeast infections. Candida fungus can easily get into the body and is exacerbated by poor dietary habits. Black walnut, however, consists of juglone and tannins that can make the environment of the gut very unfriendly to the candida fungus, thus protecting the body from this fungus, which can weaken blood vessel walls and increase toxicity in your bloodstream. This same antifungal action makes black walnut effective against Athlete’s foot, ringworm, jock itch, and other more common fungal infections.(2)
3. Beneficial for Hair
Black walnut holds strong contents of omega fatty acids which help hair follicles to stay strong, smooth, and lustrous. Baldness, hair loss, dry hair, and dandruff are some of the issues that can be met by the proper intake of black walnuts. You can also maintain the healthy color of your hair due to the coloring agents present in it.
4. Expels Parasites
One of the key active components of the black walnut hull is the juglone. Juglone exerts its effect by inhibiting certain enzymes required for metabolic function. It’s extremely toxic to many insect herbivores — it’s often used by organic gardeners as a natural pesticide — and researchers have observed that black walnut can expel parasitic worms from the body.
According to the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, black walnut is quite effective against ringworm, tapeworm, pin or threadworm, as well as other parasites of the intestine. This is why black walnut makes a great addition to any parasite cleanse.(3)
5. Helps with weight loss
Regular consumption of a few black walnuts in your diet will help in enhancing your metabolism. These nuts also help in reducing the total fat content. Plus, it also prevents sugar level variations that could prevent you from overeating. To be precise, black walnuts help you shed the excess fat and tone yourself.
6. Immune System Health
Along with its antifungal activity to boost the health of the immune system, black walnut is also rich in antioxidants, meaning that it can considerably contribute to the protection of the body by neutralizing free radicals that can cause particular types of cancer and chronic disease. Black walnut is also antiviral and anti-parasitic in nature, providing a comprehensive defensive line for your body.(4)
7. Improved Reproduction in Men
It is one of the remarkably lesser-known benefits of black walnuts. Black walnuts play an important role in the male reproductive system by increasing male fertility. The sperm quality is improved as it controls the vitality, motility, and morphology of the cells.
8. Digestive Health
The natural anti-inflammatory activity of black walnut makes it ideal for calming upset stomachs, mainly inflamed walls of the colon or gut, which help to normalize the digestive process and regulate excretion. Black walnut is supposed to help relieve both constipation as well as diarrhea, efficiently balancing the body’s entire gastrointestinal system. Some people use black walnuts as a laxative substance in concentrated doses, but this isn’t suggested for extended periods of time.(5)
9. Respiratory Conditions
Gargling with black walnut extract can be effective for soothing sore throats, as the anti-inflammatory nature can relieve irritation and inflammation.(6)
10. Heart Health
A high level of omega-3 fatty acids and beneficial compounds contained in black walnuts is vital for heart health. Eating a few extra walnuts each day can help to normalize the cholesterol levels in your body, as omega-3 fatty acids can help to eradicate dangerous LDL cholesterol from the body. This can help to lower your blood pressure, ease tension on your cardiovascular system, decrease the chance of developing atherosclerosis, and thus lower your risk of heart attack, stroke, and coronary heart disease.(7)
11. Skin Health
By crushing up black walnut husks, a fine powder can be created and made into a paste for the skin. The rich levels of antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids can actually impact the health and appearance of the skin, preventing blemishes and pimples, preventing acne, and clearing up skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema. Direct use of the powder tincture may be too strong for the skin, thus it can be mixed in with other carrier creams and natural salves.
12. For Blood Sugar or Diabetes
Dietary fats present in black walnuts are seen to improve your metabolic parameters if you have type-2 diabetes. Commonly, it is seen that if you have obesity, you are likely to have type-2 diabetes.
If regular consumption of black walnuts is done in sufficient quantity, then you can deal with this problem, and it will help you maintain blood sugar levels. This is seen to happen by a reduction in fasting insulin levels.
13. Improves sleep
Black walnuts are a rich source of melatonin, a hormone and antioxidant known to regulate day-night cycles, guard cells, and DNA and reduce inflammation levels. Having sufficient melatonin in your system is the key to sleeping better. But because the body decreases production as we age, including either plant sources such as black walnuts or (melatonin) food supplements in your diet might help improve your sleep significantly.
Consumers include black walnuts in traditional treats, such as cakes, cookies, fudge, and pies, during the fall holiday season.
It is also used in other foods, such as salads, fish, pork, chicken, vegetables, and pasta dishes.
