These trees bear rich-flavored nuts in 12-15 years. They are partially self-fertile, so it's best to plant multiple trees to ensure pollination. The roots and leaves of black walnut contain a chemical called juglone, which may prohibit the growth of certain plants near the tree. Attracts birds and other wildlife and is a host plant for butterflies or moths.
