Black Walnut

Juglans nigra

Ho-Chunk Name, if available:

Caakhu

This large native tree provides excellent shade for large sites. The fruit is a large round husk covering a nut
that is a favorite food of squirrels. Take care in siting a black walnut as the species produces a natural plant toxin that reduces competition from some plants in the area.
