Juglans cinerea
Now it’s more important than ever to plant Butternut since native populations are succumbing to a blight. Well suited to upland soils, this deep-rooted, medium-sized tree produces large, delicious nuts that crack readily with a hammer or vice. Light, easily polished wood. Husks and inner bark produce a yellow dye.
