The forgotten walnut. Native. Threatened. Worth saving.

Juglans cinerea, the Butternut or White Walnut, is the more northern, more cold-hardy, and more mild-flavored native relative of the Black Walnut, producing rich, buttery nuts with a flavor distinctly sweeter and less intense than its famous cousin and a tree that once grew across the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada in numbers that have been dramatically reduced by butternut canker, an introduced fungal disease that has killed an estimated 80 percent of wild butternuts in much of its range since the 1970s. The Butternut is now listed as a species of conservation concern across much of its native range. Growing Butternut from seed is one of the most meaningful conservation acts available to a northeastern or Great Lakes grower. If you are looking to buy Butternut seeds or grow white walnut from seed, every tree planted represents a species that is fighting to survive.

  • Rich, sweet, buttery-flavored nuts superior in mildness to Black Walnut, eaten fresh and used in baking
  • The most cold-hardy native walnut in eastern North America, thriving in zones 3 to 7
  • Listed as a species of conservation concern with wild populations reduced up to 80 percent by butternut canker
  • Produces nuts within 4 to 6 years from seed, earlier than most large nut trees
  • Deep golden-yellow fall color with large compound leaves, attractive shade tree

Things you probably did not know about the Butternut

The nuts were a critically important food and oil source for Indigenous peoples of the Northeast. Butternut nuts were harvested, dried, and stored as a winter food staple by the Iroquois, Abenaki, and other northeastern nations. The nuts were also boiled and the oil skimmed from the surface, producing a rich cooking and cosmetic oil with a flavor comparable to walnut oil. The oil was so valued that trading relationships centered on butternut nut stores have been documented in archaeological and historical records.

The inner bark was the source of a yellow-brown dye used by colonial Americans and Confederate soldiers. Butternut bark produces a warm yellow-brown dye that was one of the few natural dyes available in quantity in the eastern woodlands. Confederate soldiers whose uniforms were dyed with butternut were sometimes called butternuts by Union troops. The dye was also used for textiles, leather, and wood staining in early American crafts.

Butternut canker arrived from Asia and has no effective treatment. Sirococcus clavigignenti-juglandacearum, the fungal pathogen responsible for butternut canker, was introduced to North America from Asia in the early to mid-20th century and has spread throughout the butternut's range. The cankers girdle branches and trunks, eventually killing infected trees. Some individual trees show apparent resistance to the canker, and breeding programs are selecting for resistant individuals, but no cure or chemical treatment is currently effective at preventing the disease.

The nuts are contained in a sticky green husk that stains everything it touches. Like all walnuts, Butternut nuts are enclosed in a green husk that contains compounds producing dark brown stains on skin, clothing, and concrete that are extremely persistent. The husks were used by Indigenous peoples as a natural dye and insect repellent. The staining is strong enough that harvesting butternuts without gloves is not recommended unless you intend to walk around with brown hands for two weeks.

Growing Details

  • Botanical Name: Juglans cinerea
  • Stratification: Required, 90 to 120 days cold moist stratification, recalcitrant seed, keep moist
  • USDA Zones: 3 to 7
  • Soil: Well-drained, deep, slightly acidic to neutral, tolerates rocky soils better than Black Walnut
  • Light: Full sun
  • Height: 40 to 60 feet
  • Spread: 30 to 50 feet
  • Growth Rate: Moderate, 1 to 2 feet per year

Plant it knowing it may face disease pressure from canker. Individual trees that show resistance are worth selecting and propagating. Every Butternut in cultivation matters during what may be the most critical period in the species' history.

Not as complicated to put together as it seems, and quite sturdy
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Triple
When I first unpacked this stand, I was initially overwhelmed by the number of parts that were included in the package. I didn’t realize there were extra parts included to offer you two choices for how to mount the stand to your workstation. Once I got that sorted out, I relaxed a bit more and was able to assemble the unit single-handedly and mount two 22” monitors and a laptop to give myself more room on my desk. It was a bit challenging to move the arms to just the right angles and height, but I did get it after a few tries. I used the re-positionable clamp instead of the desk- through grommet mount. It feels very sturdy, and I feel as long as I periodically check the tension and tightness of the bolts, it will hold up everything just fine. I am not thrilled with the cable management clamps that attach to the round center pole, so I’ll probably end up looking for different clamps or even just velcro fasteners to loop around the post. The clamps that snap onto the arms themselves are fine and hold the Displayport and power cords in place well. I thought about dinging this unit a star for the weird center post clamps and also because the black coating on part of the round post is flaking off, but really, I can work with those things/cover up the cosmetic issues. I was super-impressed by the way the hardware was included in labeled, individual plastic compartments. The instructions were pretty good, too, although I would have liked the print to be a little larger - once you hit your forties, you reach for readers or have to get up close and squint to see small print… Overall, I’m pleased with this unit.

Game changer
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual, Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual
**update 2026** Okay I've just upgraded this mount so let me update my review. I am keeping 5 stars because for an entry level budget mount it did its job. Here's why I changed: if your desk is not solid wood, the base of the mount is too narrow and will start to sink in. Also, after a few years one of the arm started to sag. I upgraded for a mount double this price so not outrageous but the base is wider and the arms are sturdier. I am still happy I purchased that one because for my budget it did the job so these years and it's better than not having it. Still recommend if your budget is low and you need to save desk space, it's a great starter. If you can wait and save twice this, I suggest you do and skip to the better ones though. **original review 2020** Been using this mount for about 3 months, time to review: It is an absolute game changer! Cheap, easy to assemble and install, feels sturdy. At first my wife was skeptical because she thought it would be a gimmick but it frees up so much space, it brings both monitors to the same eye-level height, the mouse cable never gets stuck under the laptop anymore, and it holds the cables in place so that when she has to run with the laptop they don't fall behind the desk anymore (see picture). All these little details improved her productivity. And just visually it looks much better I think. Laptop: 15" Monitor: 24"

Works fine overall, but... "you get what you pay for"
Size: Width 16.5", Fully Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Single
Filed under: "you get what you pay for"? I like the price point and FOR THE MOST PART this arm is getting the job done in my home office space *but* a few points... (1) The little "claw" to hold the laptop in place has these little "locks" that are on the under side which... that's OK but they can be hard to see and it just seems like an extra part that can break -- vs. a ratcheting clamp. (2) The tension on every movable part was ALL out of whack when I first installed it. I set the laptop onto the cradle and it basically collapsed -- flipping down as far as it would go. I had to adjust the tension to be significantly higher in order to hold steady -- but NOW it's hard to "fine-tune" because the tension on that joint is so stiff. On the other hand, the main "elbow" joint is easy to adjust *and* holds steady all day, but within seconds of taking my laptop off of the arm, it springs up -- sometimes rather violently. (3) The overall build quality seems a little weak. The main screw to hold the laptop stand in place had a little cap to make it easier to twist it by hand -- but this snapped off during the initial installation. Not a deal-breaker because once it was in place, I didn't expect to move it again BUT it was still disappointing. (4) Not a deal-breaker for me BUT... there's practically no included cable management. Just... be aware of that. Otherwise... instructions were pretty clear vis-à-vis how to install and -- like I said -- it seems to be getting the job done w/r/t/ getting the laptop up off the desk and MOSTLY aligned with my other monitors.

Superb quality. Couldn't be happier.
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual
I have been looking for a separate monitor and laptop stand for a while now and recently came across this set up from WALI. For under $50, I was a little nervous about the quality before it arrived. I had no reason to be concerned. It is a SOLID set up. Everything is high-quality metal construction and secure when assembled. Set up took some doing but only because I am not the most, um, detailed direction follower...Make sure you tighten the tray and post screws TIGHTLY initially to prevent any kind of movement after you've assembled it (don't ask me how I know). I have a 15'' Asus laptop and the lip on the tray holds it fine as long as I don't tip it too far forward. But it's an unusually thick laptop body so I imagine most won't have an issue. Again, it's not a problem for me at all, just limits slightly the angle I can tilt the tray. If you are ok with the configuration shown in the primary product image (i.e., monitor above tray) then it will be no problem as is. My desk isn't that deep so I had wanted them to be side-by-side. I was able to set it up that way out of the box. But my monitor was just a hair too big and it cast a shadow on the laptop monitor in the side by side configuration. Support was kind enough to send me a second base post and screws so I could use the grommet and clamp bases at the same time (as is you can only use one or the other). This of course only works if you already have a hole in the desk (or are willing to put one in yourself). Many thanks to WALI's support crew for accommodating me. I use a standing desk. If movement while you type is something you're fussy about (I'm not) note there will be some shake, especially in the standing position. But for most, it should be absolutely no problem. Overall a fantastic deal. Highly recommend it!

A Powerhouse USB Hub That Handles Everything I Throw at It
Color: Gray
I’ve been using this 17‑Port 96W Powered USB 3.2 Hub for a few weeks now, and it has completely streamlined my workspace. With 10 USB‑A 3.2 ports, 2 USB‑C 3.2 ports, 3 QC 24W fast‑charging ports, and an SD/TF card reader, this hub truly replaces multiple adapters and dongles. The 10Gbps transfer speeds are legit — large files from my SSDs move quickly and consistently without random disconnects. The 96W power supply is a huge plus. Even with multiple external drives, peripherals, and a webcam connected, everything stays stable. No flickering, no dropouts, no “device not recognized” issues. The individual power switches are surprisingly useful too — I can turn off specific drives without unplugging anything. The build quality feels solid and premium. It doesn’t slide around, and it stays cool even under heavy load. The SD/TF card reader is fast and convenient for photo/video work. The QC fast‑charging ports are also great for topping up my phone or accessories, though they’re charging‑only (no data), which is clearly stated. If you’re someone who uses multiple devices — external HDDs, flash drives, cameras, microphones, card readers, etc. — this hub is a game changer. It’s perfect for PC setups, content creators, IT workstations, and anyone who needs serious connectivity. Overall, this is one of the most capable, stable, and well‑designed USB hubs I’ve used. Absolutely worth it.
