Butternut
Juglans cinerea
Butternut is an endangered deciduous tree native to Ontario. It produces edible walnuts that have a sweet, oily, buttery flavour. These nuts are a food source for wildlife
Be careful where you are planting, many walnut species produce a chemical called juglone, which can inhibit the growth of certain plant species.
Butternut grows best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. They are intolerant of shade and cannot be transplanted once established due to their large taproot.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available April through August, depending on suppliers availability.
