Description
"Black Walnut Fruit" by Debbie Oppermann. The Black Walnut fruit ripens in autumn and has a brownish green semi fleshy husk and a brown corrugated nut on the inside and the tree has beautiful golden foliage. The whole fruit falls in October or November and the squirrels love them. Unfortunately, the black walnut’s roots, which may extend 50 feet or more from the trunk, do exude a natural herbicide known as juglone that prevents many plants from growing within their reach. Tomatoes, potatoes, apples, pears, berries, and some landscape plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas, and lilacs may be killed or stunted if grown in close proximity to black walnut roots.
