Juglans regia aka Black Walnut

Juglans regia, also known as Persian walnut, English walnut, Carpathian walnut, Madeira walnut, or especially in Great Britain as common walnut, is an Old World walnut tree species native to the region stretching from the Balkans eastward to the Himalayas and southwest China. Requiring a deep taproot and difficult to transplant, it can reach 40-60 feet in height and width with a rounded and spreading crown, and usually taking 15-20 years to produce a good crop of fruit. It also has an aggressive root system and does not do well in hot, humid climates. Widely cultivated across Europe and Caucasus, with major commercial production coming from China, this tree produces not only a delicious, nutritious nut, but also is used for its wood for fine furniture, and can be a beautiful ornamental tree with large, arching limbs providing shade in the landscape.
