Black Walnut trees are found throughout southern Ontario and are plentiful between London and Windsor. This giant was at the ancient site of a First Nations walled village just East of Rodney.
Juglans Nigra produce edible nuts that are not as tasty as Persian (European) Walnuts Juglans Regia. Black Walnut wood is beautiful, dark and easily worked for a hardwood. It is a premium wood for fine furniture. It also is durable when used outside as fenceposts etc.
