Learn how to tell black walnut from another common native tree it often is found growing with in this video:    • Black Walnut vs Black Locust  How to...  

One of the questions I get often about invasive species is how to tell the invasive tree of heaven, Ailanthus altissima, from the native black walnut, Juglans nigra. While these two trees look similar from a distance, there are some easy to learn characteristics that can be used to tell them apart. I cover several of these in this video and include ways to identify these two species even after the leaves fall.
