The Hinds walnut, or Northern California black walnut, is native to California. Introduced to Oregon by settlers in the 1800s, it thrived along streams in the Willamette Valley and is now naturalized, performing well in the region’s climate while providing food and shelter for wildlife. This drought-tolerant tree features distinctive tufts of hair on the underside, setting it apart from similar species. Rounded walnuts with thick shells yield rich, flavorful meat for humans and wildlife. The Hinds walnut is the rarer variety of Northern California walnut, combining ecological productivity with historical and practical significance.
