Juglans nigra, commonly known as the black walnut, is a large deciduous tree native to North America, particularly found in the eastern and central United States. It belongs to the Juglandaceae family, which also includes other walnut and hickory species. The tree is well known for its rich, dark brown to black heartwood, prized for its beauty, durability, and workability in furniture making and cabinetry.

The black walnut tree can grow to impressive heights, often reaching 30 to 40 metres tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 1.5 metres. The bark is deeply furrowed, dark grey to almost black, and has a rugged texture. Its compound leaves are pinnate, usually comprising 15 to 23 leaflets that are finely toothed and emit a distinctive aromatic scent when crushed. These leaves turn a golden yellow in the autumn.

One of the most notable features of Juglans nigra is its edible nut, enclosed in a thick, greenish-brown husk that eventually turns black as it matures. The nuts are difficult to crack but are highly valued for their rich flavour, commonly used in baking and cooking. Wildlife, including squirrels and birds, also consume the nuts, making the tree an important source of food in its ecosystem.
