There was a great big one in my grandmoms yard the 40's and 50's and

then. They are a treasure.


It is 'juglans regia'(yes, it's mine). Do you refer to 'juglans nigra'?
Their nutshells are stronger and sharper corrugated than those of regia.
I've seen such a tree now and then, but I didn't know that the nuts were
edible. Thanks for the ineresting info.
