Butternut (White Walnut) - - Juglans cinerea
The butternut tree has distinctive, ridged and furrowed bark and a short, usually forked trunk with a wide, spreading, open crown. The late spring blooms can be damaged by late frosts. It is an alternate bearer meaning it will bear abundantly one year, less the next year or take a few years off before bearing again. The nuts store well. (Plant multiple trees to ensure pollination.) (zones 3-7)
