Hired on to help with some tree removal this weekend. Is this black walnut? I can get some end grain pictures tomorrow.
Very little experience with it but from the looks of your pics i would say yes. I can tell you more once i see pics of rounds and splits.
Looks like walnut to me. I wasn't sure about the fruit clusters either, but I think it is from this pic. https://mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/fi...ck-walnut-catkins01-18-2011.jpg?itok=Vkn2SZTo
Actually sir, I believe that is the Highly Valuable Black Walnut. You may start planning your retirement now.
I should have known what the fruit clusters looked like without looking it up, we have about 10 black walnut trees on our lot, but I obviously haven't paid that much attention to them. LOL One of our trees drops a lot of walnuts every year, and they're a pain to clean up. I harvested some nuts one year, but that was a lot of work and my wife didn't like the taste of them. In my experience, the wood pops when I burn it in the stove. The wood is beautiful, and I've thought about trying to make a spoon, or clock, or something with it.
Yes that’s black walnut. Those ‘fruit clusters’ are actually flower clusters called catkins. They’re the male stamen flowers. I have hundreds of them all over my deck and probably clogging the gutters as we speak...
