This section of the Greenwood Nursery website is all about our genetically superior black walnut trees and why black walnut (Juglans nigra) has been called the “Money Tree.” Our intention is to provide you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about planting black walnut trees. You will learn about the value of such trees as well as the superior characteristics of the cultivars (cultivated varieties) we offer.

These cultivars, which we have given the designation "GSP" to distinguish them from our regular trees, are selected for superior form and rapid growth rate. They produce valuable veneer-grade wood significantly faster than other varieties.

With the stock market slumping and interest rates in the basement, there’s no better time than now to plant these superior varieties. A small plantation, in fact, could earn you a million dollars in just 30 years.

It's been called the ideal alternative investment. That's because it's not an investment at all, at least not in the traditional sense of the word. Most investments are not under the control of the investor. That's because most investments do not actually confer ownership in the corporations of which they purport to be a share. Just try removing a piece of property from the corporation you ostensibly own and you'll find yourself before a judge with no sense of humor at your presumption of ownership.

In contrast, when you invest in black walnut, you actually own the trees, the plantation, the land, in short, everything related to your investment. There are no greedy CEOs to worry about and no one cooking the books. No one is going to siphon off money that should go to shareholder equity to build multi-million dollar vacation homes in the Caribbean.

Although no one can know for sure how much these trees will increase in value, the supply of prime veneer grade black walnut has never been lower than it is today.

As the old saying goes, the best time to plant trees is yesterday; the next best time is today. Don't do as too many have done and waste time just thinking about it, then wishing you'd done something about it when you had the chance.

Take the first step in gaining control of your financial future today. Add genetically improved trees to your portfolio.

Sometimes the best alternative investment is the only alternative.

Supplies are limited, so please don't wait. Order today!

Greenwood Nursery does not appraise or purchase Black Walnut trees. If you have trees and are interested in marketing the trees, contact your local forester or conservation district office to see if anyone in your area is purchasing trees. Some mills do purchase and pay per board foot and will grade your trees accordingly. Veneer wood is exported and many local mills do not purchase them.
