walnut tree, Walnussbaum

Juglans regia

Description:

Compared to certain other nuts, walnuts (especially in their raw form) contain the highest level of antioxidant

Habitat:

gardens, parks, woods

Notes:

under a walnut tree there grows not much, because of the tannins in leaves. mosquitos do not like the scent of the leaves - you can keep them away, by hanging a handful leaves in the window. Of course is a mosquito net the best.
