Black walnut
🗓 Season: September · October
🔍 When is it ripe?
Harvest when the green husk turns yellow-green and the nut falls naturally or can be shaken loose. Wear gloves — the husk stains permanently. Remove husk immediately, then cure nuts in a cool, airy place for 2–3 weeks before cracking. Intensely flavoured.
Black walnut trees all along this stretch of Ravine Rd; location NOT exact due to the fact that I can't quite recall where the trees are (sorry). Best to try and harvest the walnuts at the exact moment they ripen, as squirrels and worms easily get to them first.
Note: I've also heard reports of a good black walnut tree down Gurleyville Rd, a bit past Horsebarn Hill Rd, but I have not verified that location.
