I don't know if a Black Walnut will grow in your soil and climate, but they are beautiful trees, very slow-growing and hardy, and their wood is getting scarcer and scarcer.

And if you like walnuts, you can always harvest them.

I have Black Walnuts. Be careful as they take lots of maintenance.

They lose branches and spread walnuts with nasty hulls everywhere.

Some years I pick up a five gallon bucket or more of walnuts every day for weeks from a single tree.

Black walnuts, while very flavorful, are much harder to shell than their English cousins.

Hope you like squirrels!
