Excellent! I had no idea black walnuts would look like that. Is it a fruit? If so, is the fruit part edible?

Black Walnuts are a nut like a regular English Walnut except that the shells are very hard.  It really takes some effort to crack them and get the meat out.  You'll seldom find Black Walnuts with whole or 1/2 pieces as you pretty much have to break the meat of the nut into small pieces to get it out of the shell.

What you see in the pictures are the nuts inside their husks.  English Walnuts, almonds, etc also have husks.  The husks crack open and the nuts fall out as they mature in the early fall.

Yes, the structure of the husk and shell is also similar to the coconut. First you crack off the husk, then crack the shell, then eat the nut kernals. When fall comes they fall from the trees and thats the time to gather them.

Beautiful looking fruits  and great shots as well...I'm jealous!

We have nothing like that where I live, I have never eaten a wild berry from the bush in my life, we have nothing except a few salty leaves and acrid pithy fruits. The local aborigines would have had almost zero carbs.

I've eaten cloud berries in Norway and black berries in the UK which was a great experience.

what a shame, i hope you'll one day have the experience of gathering succulent fruit  Grin, although those apples aren't wild, I found them in my neiborhood on city property, they weren't sprayed at all, you can tell because of all the worm holes, sometimes i find succulent worms inside, although i have never ate one yet, don't know if its poisonous
