BLACK WALNUT HULLWHOLE DRY HERB

Botanical Insights on Black Walnut:

Description: Black walnut (Juglans nigra),a towering flowering tree within the Juglandaceae family, can reach an impressive height of up to 150 feet.

The bark is characterized by its black hue, thickness, and deep furrows. When scraped, it unveils a chocolate-colored sub-surface. Twigs are sturdy, displaying a greenish or orange-brown hue, with the possibility of being either hairy or smooth. The pith, revealed by a knife's cut, is dark brown and exhibits partitioning. The leaves, arranged alternately and pinnately compound, emit a distinct "walnut" fragrance when crushed.

The flowers, found individually on the same tree, manifest as yellow-green catkins during the partial growth of leaves. Staminate (male) flowers outnumber pistillates (female), the latter being smaller in size. Notably, the flowers lack petals.

Fruits (walnuts) either occur singly or in groups of 2 or 3. Spherical in shape and 2 inches or larger in diameter, the outer husk starts as yellow-green but darkens to black upon falling. The inner nut boasts a hard, dark brown shell with deep ridges, housing a sweet-tasting, edible nut.

Common Names & Nomenclature: The genus name Juglans is derived from the Latin words jovis and glans, signifying nut of Jove. The specific epithet nigra, meaning black, alludes to the tree's dark bark and nuts.

Also known as: Black walnut, American walnut, Eastern black walnut, carya, carya basilike, carya persica, green black walnut, green walnut, juglans nigra, Jupiter's nuts, nogal americano, nogal negro, nogueira-preta, noix, noix de Jupiter, noix de Perse, noix verte, noyer d'Amérique, noyer noir, noyer noir américain, nux persica, nux regia, schwarze Walnuss, walnoot, and walnut.
