Growing Tips & Maintenace
- A great tree for larger landscapes and natural areas. Placement should be considered as the litter from the nuts can be very messy. Juglans produce the chemical juglone, and many plants are highly sensitive to this chemical. Look for plants with a tolerance to the toxicity near or under juglans. A great tree for attracting squirrels.
Note
Additional Notes
- Native to Ontario. Butternut is similar in appearance to black walnut (Juglans nigra), however, it is generally smaller, its bark is smoother, it has fewer leaflets per leaf, and its nuts are more oval than round. Native Americans used the nuts for food and boiled the tree sap for syrup.
