With heights reaching up to 100 feet and deep roots as long as 10 feet, it provides stability and support for the black walnut tree, but also makes it difficult for the tree to absorb water. This is why black walnuts grow in regions with occasional rainfall or near creek beds. The leaves are spear-shaped, light green, and several inches in length. The bark is black, deeply furrowed, and thick, and when scraped, it reveals a dark-covered subsurface. The tree is native to the Himalayas, Kyrgyzstan, and Central Asia, and was cultivated in Europe as early as 100 B.C. Black walnuts are smaller, harder, and more pungent than the English walnuts sold in grocery stores. The hulls without the meaty kernels inside are used in traditional herbalism. Black walnut trees exude a sap that discourages the growth of competing plants over their roots. Black walnut is a member of the Juglandaceae.
