Eastern Black Walnut


Here's a batch of black walnuts (juglans nigra) that I picked up from a dry river bottom a few days ago. The trees bore a very heavy crop this year. All of the native black walnut trees in this area seem to be the Eastern black walnut. I know of one Texas black walnut (juglans nigra microcarpa) in the area, which is the "little black walnut", much smaller than the Eastern black walnut. Too bad that walnuts bring such a low price, unlike pecans.
