Juglans nigra - black walnut (Square vase 9x9x20 cm)

Genus of about 15 species of deciduous trees, sometimes shrubs, found in forested regions of southeastern Europe, Asia, North America and northern South America. The Juglas nigra is an expansive, vigorous deciduous tree with pinnate, aromatic leaves, up to 60 cm long, composed of 11-23 leaflets, dark green, ovate-oblong which in autumn take on a beautiful golden yellow color. The black walnut is grown as an ornamental or for its lumber, being much faster growing than the white walnut. Its nuts can be eaten but have very hard skin and little pulp and are therefore not of commercial interest. It can reach 30 m in height.

Pedoclimatic needs

Grow in fertile, well-drained and deep soil, preferably in full sun. It requires large spaces to allow the foliage to develop freely. Rustic species resistant to cold and frost down to -15°/-18°C.
