Juglans cinerea aka White Walnut

Juglans cinerea, also known as butternut or white walnut, is a species of deciduous tree native to Canada and the eastern United States. It belongs to the Juglans genus and is similar to the Manchurian walnut. The tree has a decorative crown and complex leaves, and the twigs are gray in color. The fruit has visible ribs on its surface and a sinuous shell that holds the green nut. The nut's shell is difficult to separate and is sticky and resinous on top. It has a bitter, iodine taste and stays green for a long time. Butternut Tree is a rare houseplant that thrives with regular watering and prefers well-draining soil. It needs direct light and should be less than a foot away from a window. Repotting is necessary each time the plant doubles in size. In botanical gardens, Manchu nuts are preferred for food, and gray ones are only used in thaws or early spring. Nuts that are not covered by leaves or soil lose their germination by spring. The plant is known for its protective mechanisms against squirrels.
