Background: A versatile North American native tree providing a wide range of uses.

Black walnut leaf and hull stain fabric and porous materials. Hull of all Juglans has been used as a dye for centuries.

Description: Black walnut, a native North American perennial, grows to 120 feet in height and is found throughout the eastern United States and Canada. The bark is thick and brown to grayish-black in color with deep furrows and narrow forking ridges which form a diamond pattern. The leaves are pinnately compound, with 9-21 ovate lanceolate, serrate leaflets. Male and female flowers grow in separate catkins. The fruit/nut is deeply grooved and hemispherical in shape inside a spherical, rough husk.

Safety: There is no known negative safety information available. Extended use of leaf may cause mild dermatitis in some.
