{Our Juglans Nigra - Eastern Black Walnut}

Having such a vast garden as we have, does give many surprises too. This year we did discover for the very first time big round 'nuts' on the ground near the creek, beside our greenhouse. Asking some friends they turned out to be 'Juglans Nigra - Eastern Black Walnuts'. A bit messy for taking them out of their shell but they are supposed to be delicious. This special find I want to share with you. Obvious such a tree needs to have a certain age before bearing nuts. It is quite tall, rather slender and thus hard to spot the nuts hanging on the limbs.
One Juglans Nigra - Eastern Black Walnut is still left in its hull, the others are bare but not yet dry...
As said, a tall tree already. I did read about Black Walnut that they only start producing well at the age of 20 years. The few nuts they  produced from age 4-6 might have been taken by the squirrels before we ever knew we had some...
The top right shows the Juglans Nigra - Eastern Black Walnut on November 7.
This is our harvest from November 15...
With and without hull...
One black walnut up close...
11 days later they did dry up a lot. This photo was taken on November 26.
Do you have any walnuts?

  1. I love walnuts. YUM! But, my hubbs and son are allergic to them...they make their tongues swell so I generally use pecans instead.

    Thank you for visiting me! I failed to get your note in your box with your Case...:( Bah! Glad you love it!

    Thinking of you sweet friend. xoRebecca

  2. Danke für diese wunderschönen Bilder.

    Ich liebe Wallnüsse auch sehr.

    Bin mir nicht sicher, ob ihr den heutigen Tag auch so feiert wie wir in Deutschland.
    Ich wünsche dir trotzdem einen gesegneten 1. Advent.

    Lovely Greetings, Mary

  8. Liebe Mariette,
    diese Frucht hätte ich wahrscheinlich nicht als Nuss erkannt. Schön, dass du uns die Besinderheiten deiner Heimat nahe bringst.
    Ich wünsche Dir eine besinnliche, ruhige Adventszeit

  9. Liebe Mariette,
    diese interessante Nuss hat eine Bekannte hier im Garten stehen. Die Früchte sehen sehr schön aus, auch als Querschnitt aufgesägt sind sie ein intressesanter Anblick. Der Geschmack der Nüsse war hier nicht gut. Vielleicht waren sie schon zu alt bei uns.
    Schöne Grüße, Johanna

  10. Liebe Mariette,
    was es doch alles so gibt auf Erden - diese schwarze Nuss erstaunt mich -

    meine Oma hatte früher viele Walnussbäume - wenn man sie gleich nach dem Pflücken schält sind sie am leckersten - sie sind sehr gesund und schmecken so gut -

    ich wünsche dir eine wundervolle Adventszeit

    lg. Ruth

  11. Lieve Mariette,

    Ik heb nog nooit eerder zwarte walnoten gezien. Wat bijzonder dat jullie zo'n boom in de tuin hebben staan en dat hij dan ook nog eens vruchten geeft! Ik hoop dat de noten heerlijk zullen smaken.

    Een gezellige nieuwe week!

  12. I love walnuts but I don't think I've had Eastern black walnut before. How nice you can get these in your own garden!
    Thank you for introducing Johanna at Silber+Rosen. What a fun blog - I love her story very much!

  13. Non ho mai visto queste noci, quelle che ho nel mio albero sono diverse...e quest'anno ne ha fatte poche e ammalate! Un abbraccio e buon Lunedì, Anna.

  14. It would be fun to be able to grow nuts but it doesn't stay hot long enough in Saskatchewan. :(

  15. Dearest Mariette, OH MY!! Black walnuts are wonderful. I have not know of a tree in years. Might have known you had one on your vast property.
    They have a wonderfu unique taste. Blue Bell makes a great black walnut ice cream. When I was young my Mom would make a black walnut icing for cakes. Just fabulous. Lucky you. Love to You, Ginger
