Another windy walnut Tree Talk! This time we're covering Juglans cinerea, known as butternut or white walnut (or the abbreviated "buttnut", at least among the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay Forests team in Pennsylvania). This attractive, compact floodplain tree is prized for its tasty nuts and also produces nice wood, though its small sized and scattered nature make it more valuable for nuts than timber. It is unfortunately declining across much of its range and has been extirpated from parts of its range by Butternut Canker, an introduced fungus.
