Eastern Black Walnut
We have a fair number of native black walnut trees here and they seem to have wildly different size crops from one year to the next. I don't remember this particular tree having any nuts before this year when it had a lot. I cracked one open and the nuts are surrounded by thick, black husk material that stained my hands. The nuts are edible for humans and the durable wood is highly prized. Anyway, this is a new one for my prairie seeds set.
