There are nearly two-dozen different types of Walnut trees in the world, though most are native to the United States. Among the most popular are: 1  Black Walnut: The tallest of all Walnut trees, the Black Walnut can grow as high as 100 feet. 2  The tree's fruit grows in clusters and falls in autumn. 3  The Black Walnut's shell is unique in that it contains a dark brown dye that will stain any item it comes in contact with.
Walnut harvest usually begins in the southern and central valleys in early September and the northern regions in early October. The walnuts are ready to be harvested when the green outer hull splits exposing the nut. At this time, many walnuts have already dropped from the trees to the orchard floor. Nuts that have not dropped naturally are then mechanically shaken from the tree.
