Black walnut is a native hardwood prized for its high-value wood and commonly used in forestry, agroforestry, and conservation plantings. Growing 80 to 120 feet tall, it produces nuts that serve as an important food source for wildlife and are also enjoyed by people. Its wood is highly valued for fine furniture, cabinetry, veneer, and gunstock production, making black walnut one of the most sought-after timber species in eastern North America.
