Nature
This highly desirable wood is provided by walnut trees and comes from the genus Juglans, in the family junglandaceae. The Latin term 'Junglans' means 'Jupiter's acorn' or 'a nut fit for a God'. The walnut trees shed their leaves annually and grow to between 10 and 40 metres tall - 20 years at maturity. They are known for their broad crowns and are valued for the nuts they produce which are rich in oil and can be eaten fresh or cooked. Walnut trees have an important place in medicine, being used for a variety of different ailments including asthma; hence the remarkable benefits & claims of not containing the allergenic qualities of pets and being very child friendly.
