Edible Pine Nut Tree
Juglans nigra
Juglans nigra, commonly known as Black Walnut or Eastern Black Walnut, is a large, deciduous tree grown for its edible nuts. Leaves emerge a fresh green in spring, mature to dark green in summer, then develop colourful, yellow tones in autumn before falling. Small, yellow flowers in spring result in the tasty nuts in autumn. This tree will grow to 25 m tall and 18 m wide and prefers a full sun position on a well-drained site. The Black Walnut is commonly included in large gardens as a specimen, grown as a shade tree, or simply planted for nut production.

Pinus pinea
Commonly known as the Pine Nut, this is an attractive tree that has a variety of uses including the production of nuts. It grows with an upright and spreading habit with short, grey-green needles. Pine cones are produced when the tree is about six years old and within these cones are the edible nuts. This evergreen will eventually reach 10 m tall and 6 m wide, and performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of dry periods, cool climates, coastal environments, and frost. The Pine Nut is commonly grown as a specimen with the added bonus of the tasty nuts. It is also well suited to being used for shelter and screening.
