Juglans nigra, the eastern American black walnut, is a species of deciduous tree in the walnut family, Juglandaceae, native to central and eastern North America, growing mostly in riparian zones. Black walnut is susceptible to thousand cankers disease , which provoked a decline of walnut trees in some regions.
Thousand cankers is a recently described disease and its involvement in tree mortality apparently is also recent. The first published note involving black walnut die-offs that likely can be attributed to TCD occurred in the Espanola Valley of northern New Mexico in 2001.
Many species of tree show varying degrees of resistance, such as the heartnut, butternut, and the Japanese, black, and Persian walnuts. It is sometimes claimed that higher levels of resistance result from thicker bark; however, since the disease enters through "breaks" in the bark, it is unlikely that bark thickness influences resistance.
Mansonia altissima is a species of tree native to western and Central Africa. [2] It has the vernacular names of; African black walnut or African walnut. [3]
Non-native invasive species can disrupt ecosystems because they do not have natural predators, or other ecological checks-and-balances. Thus, with less competition from native species, non-native populations can explode. [9] Invasive insects and pathogens have eliminated entire tree species from forests of the United States in as little as decades.
Juglans californica, the California black walnut, also called the California walnut, or the Southern California black walnut, [1] is a large shrub or small tree (about 20–49 feet (6.1–14.9 m) [3]) of the walnut family, Juglandaceae, endemic to the Central Valley and the Coast Range valleys from Northern to Southern California.

A specimen of Juglans hindsii from the Yosemite Museum Northern California Black Walnut in early June. Juglans hindsii is a large tree that grows up to 30–60 feet (9.1–18.3 m) tall in open settings, and may reach over 100 feet (30 m) tall in closed canopy settings. This species normally has a single erect trunk, commonly without branches in ...
