Walnut Tree

This view is from the driveway in front of the garage, looking south. The large tree in front of the fence is an English Walnut, more correctly called a Persian Walnut. The Persian Walnut is a non-toxic cousin of the Black Walnut, whose leaves contain a substance called juglone, which gets into the soil and creates inhospitable soil for most plants (thanks for the factoid, Dad Kurynny). We figure that this tree is roughly 75 to 100 years old.
