Additional info: Excellent shade tree and particularly good for city living, as it is one of the better trees to filter polluted air. Best to be planted small, as they have a large taproot that makes larger trees difficult to keep in a nursery setting. While they have a bad reputation for the juglone in their leaves, fruit and stems killing seedlings, there are many native plants that are juglone resistant, so with minimal planning, it is possible to enjoy a black walnut tree in your yard as well as a beautiful native plant garden. Sold as a 2’ tall tree in a 3 gallon or a 5 gallon pot Fruit: September-October
