We took Jonah for a walk in this forest trail. He picked up a stick to play 'hockey' with this tree's fruit. We were amazed at the strong scent of the fruit.

I grew up in an area where there were numerous black walnut trees around my neighborhood, two of them in my back yard. They do have a very strong fragrance. A neighbor of ours used to take them to make homemade black walnut stain for woodworking projects (shelves, bookcases, dressers, chairs, quilt racks, etc) that he made.

we have 2 black walnut trees at the front of our house! They really stain the sidewalks. the pods smell peppery and limey and very pungent!! whew!!!
if i knew how to get the nuts out of those pods without staining everything, i would do it! but the rodents in this area love them, so i'll leave them to it!

Yes they stain everything! As kids my cousins and I used to try to get the nuts out but our hands would be black before we were done. LOL
