White Walnut/ Butternut

The White Walnut, also called Butternut, (Juglans cinerea) is a sweet and beloved tree located on the property and is popular with many birds during the fall.

This tree can grow to be 100 feet tall, but is most often 40-60 feet tall. It has a large spread of 30-50 feet and produces edible butternuts. Unfortunately, its fruit becomes rancid pretty quickly so it must be harvested soon after maturing.

This fast growing species does not grow beyond 75 years. It grows best in rich, moist soil located in direct sun.

Try and time the butternuts right and feel free to take some with you to enjoy!
