Hey, nice to see new a video from you. I found your channel a while ago and quickly worked my way through your whole back catalog. I always learn a lot from your Tree Talks.

Greetings from Mississippi. Love your videos. Going to plant an acre or two of black walnut trees on my property that is low and tends to stay moist. Hopefully the grandkids will appreciate in 30 to 50 years.

Love the lemony smell of the nut hulls. The nuts and hulls make beautiful natural fiber dyes. You can get a bright green from hulls, a brown from nuts and a wonderful deep brown black if you let the nuts stew for a while.

Love this, thank you. Don't forget the freshly fallen fruits smell limey-lemony. I discovered that this fall as I accidentally stumbled across them walking my dogs in a cemetery. I was surprised when I learned it was it was indeed black walnut. I brought them home and excited to plant a few

Very well done. I plan to watch all your videos and add to my knowledge. Thanks. I am in Kansas, so starting with what we see here. made walnut syrup a few years back. one of the few papers on Walnut for sap was done by a professor at Kansas State. Cheers, Doc.

The black walnut tree in my grandparents' yard has a wide u split into two big parts, each bigger than the larger walnut tree you showed. It is a super old tree, and it dwarfs the 2 story house near it. I got about a dozen walnuts this past fall, and planted them in hopes that they will germinate this spring.

Well for your information walnuts are a top nut for brain health. They are chock full of omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, and other nutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Protecting the brain from oxidative stress and inflammation helps improve the health of brain cells and prevent cognitive decline.

We planted 30 black walnut trees 5-6 years ago as an investment for kids/grandkids for the lumber. Not having the ‘luck’ we’d wanted but this is a fun experiment as it’s in Montana where they don’t grow naturally so constantly watering with a shorter growing season has been challenging. No fruit and curious if the critters will enjoy it as it’s foreign to them. But this video was very helpful and extremely interesting!

Hello from Southeast MN. Loved the tree talk! Ps. I wonder about the root structure of this and any cousin ( perhaps a white walnut). Squirrels planted one 4 feet from my homes foundation! It is 3 years old and taller than my ranch style home roof peak. I am AMAZED at home fast it grew with the beautiful compound leaf arrays. Do I need to cut it out...to prevent damage.

@forestsforthebay4784 Жыл бұрын

Unfortunately I do think that walnut is too close to the house! They will get very large. They are wonderful trees though; if you have space I recommend either trying to dig it up and moving it to somewhere more suitable in the yard, or letting a squirrel inevitably plant another one elsewhere. White walnut doesn't get as large (that will actually be the next Tree Talk, so stay tuned) but that's still probably too close to the house for comfort. Hope that helps!

So glad to see yet another wonderful video. I have learned a lot from your previous ones and I thank you very kindly for that. I live in Fayette county PA so some very relevant content for me, though in my area I have found a few somewhat less common species in my local woods such as sourwood, tamarack and a lone, huge empress tree which I thought was an out of place catalpa at first as it was in a quite crowded old growth area and no leaves even close to the ground but I could see the different shaped seed pods. I have 2 black walnut trees on my property and every few years they produce heavily (this was one of those years). I had a question I hope you (or a knowledgeable subscriber) can answer for me as I am having trouble finding the answer on the web. Are there any other pine trees besides the short leaf pine that produces both 2 and 3 needles per fascicle on the same branch? There are at least 3 different kinds of pines growing on an old recovering coal stripped area (very rocky/gravelly) that I am having trouble with. I'm pretty sure one is Virginia pine (lots of them), one is definitely white pine (only a few) and the most prolific is the 2 AND 3 needle one with needles only 2-3 inches long. Anyway, thanks again for the tree-rific content! 🙂

@forestsforthebay4784 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Pitch pine (Pinus rigida) usually has 3 needles per fascicle, but sometimes has 2. And I'd expect pitch pine in southwestern PA on former strip mines. Their needles are a little longer than your 2-3" specimen though. Table-mountain pine (Pinus pungens) can have either 2 or 3 needles per bundle and has short needles. It has very distinctive cones that will hard to mistake for something else. I'd recommend looking at the bark to eliminate shortleaf; it has pretty distinctive yellow hue and resin glands that are visible when you peel off the outer layer or two. I've never seen shortleaf in PA but you never know what could have been planted nearby! Hope that helps!

@pyraxusthelutarian7276 Жыл бұрын

@@forestsforthebay4784 Thanks so much for the info. I will definitely check those species with my field guides. I just discovered this area even though it is just across the main road from me and it has lots of plant species I haven't yet found anywhere else in my area such as devil's walking stick, Wapato (arrowleaf), the aforementioned sourwood trees and tons of lowbush blueberries. Oh, and even a single mountain laurel bush 🙂

You're right, the bark of the trees is like a mountain range 😧 I can also see the blockkeeper Are you a steward of the Earth? Walnut distribution maps are kind of fun Perhaps it's an area with lots of squirrels?

Very good video! Any idea on growth of these pertaining to how high they can grow, how old they can get, and how much they grow per year? I’m sure there are variables but any information is appreciated.

@josephpeifer-f6j Жыл бұрын

years ago i read that black walnut trees give off a chemical called siloam which keeps other trees and plants from developing too close. we had a huge black walnut tree next to our vegetable garden when i was a kid and nothing we planted near the tree would grow.

@seanwebster3816 Жыл бұрын

I’ve heard of this too but I believe the chemical is called “juglone.”

@Jim-the-Engineer Жыл бұрын

Sean is correct - the chemical is called juglone. The effects of juglone are still debated in the scientific literature - even though the negative effects under walnuts have been discussed since at least the first century. Pliny the Elder wrote: "The shadow of walnut trees is poison to all plants within its compass."

@carolmoon2104 Жыл бұрын

Yes, we've lost some other trees & shrubs in our yard (including two apple trees) as our black walnuts have grown larger, I was hoping he'd mention this. Very informative video otherwise though!

@lamarwilliams185 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for this video. I was wondering how trees are identified? Some species look identical if you just look at one feature. I was wondering. How do people identify a tree after it has been processed. I bbq. I purchased cherry wood chips. How do I make sure it’s cherry and not willow chips?

@aaronr7389 3 ай бұрын

Excellent info, I have a black walnut in my yard probably about about 35-40ft tall. I want to plant a a red sun valley maple next to it and I don't have a ton of space. How far apart would you recommend planting it away from the black walnut?

@forestsforthebay4784 3 ай бұрын

maples are pretty shade-tolerant, so they may have a better chance of surviving in the shade of a black walnut than others, but in general I'd recommend trying to plant it so that it isn't under the canopy of the black walnut. hope that helps!

I read that black walnuts are worth their weight in gold to loggers. In the thousands per tree, and will pay dearly even if you have one large tree.

Not really. Everyone takes a cut The logger , the haller, the sawmill , then the retailers, usually the grower, gets the smallest portion

@rossbunnell7992 Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Is is true that Black Walnuts will release chemical compounds into the soil around them that prevent other trees and plants from growing underneath them? If so, why do they do this? To prevent competition from other deep-rooted species?

boy try to find black walnuts at the grocery store and the price is very high. my grandma baked black walnut cookies at Christmas, delicious and crispy. i have her recipe and if i can find them in the store i bake them. she was born in 1902 and raised in se Pennsylvania. she knew of every black walnut tree in the neighborhood. just saying. oh and love the hair!
