-Black walnut is anecdotally known for being allelopathic, which means that it releases chemicals from its roots and other tissues that may harm other organisms and give the tree a competitive advantage. There is not, however, solid scientific consensus that allelopathic chemicals in black walnut are the primary source of its competitive growth in an area.

-Walnut odor has a very earthy or nutty smell to it.

-Trees grow from 30 to 40 meters tall.

-Leaves are long (about 30-60 cm) with a rounded base and a long pointed tip with a serrated edge. And have dark green collor.
