Butternuts (Juglans cinerea) are a great tree for foragers, woodworkers, and wildlife. The hard nut shells contain morsels of rich, sweetish meat that is great for cooking or eating straight. My grandfather tells how he and his brothers would collect several burlap sacks full as kids every fall in northern Vermont, that their mother would then use in baked goods.
The tree’s other common name “white walnut” refers to its thin-grained, hard, light wood, excellent for fine carpentry.
Our trees come from seedstock collected along our own White River watershed here in Vermont.
Zones 3-7
