BB,

Here a decent article I read a while ago.

Apparently juglone is used in food coloring and dyes also.

Interesting stuff, inhibits enzymes needed for metabolic functions in plants.

Hope this helps.


Everything go ok for the second half of the exam?

I've heard of getting walnut burn a couple of the guys I work with get it real bad, the use vinegar when they see it start to break out they said it neutralizes the acid.
dont know how true thier remedy is but they swear by it.

I get a minor rash from Butternut trees (Juglans cinerea).

I only get small orange patches on my arms and face which are very itchy, but I always thought it was in my mind because I was the only one on the crew to get it.

In the dealings that I have had with Walnuts, yes the rash gomes on and the little spots. Right during fruiting it is the worst, the tree is has more sap running and in my opinion I think that it may be a little more acidic. I tend to prune the Juglans family and tell the land owners that just in case this tree comes down during a storm I give them the standing timber price of the tree and to give me a call.
