Butternut
(Wide & Flat: Alternate Arrangement)

A small to medium-sized tree, 30'-50' high usually in rich bottom lands and on fertile hillsides. Butternut is more common in northern tier counties and at higher elevations than Black walnut. Also called White walnut, its wood is used chiefly for furniture, instrument cases, and boxes and the nuts are an important wildlife food. Recently a fungal disease has killed many Butternut trees throughout its range.
