All Walnut Trees contain Juglone.
Juglone is also the Identifying/Latin word for Walnut
!Caution!
Walnuts can be Tapped for Syrup just like and at the same time as Maples. Because Walnuts are Nuts people with Nut Allergies can suffer reactions from the Syrup. Their Syrup also contains a Natural Pectin[I believe a Natural Preservative] so if you do not filter out the pectin from the Syrup water before you Boil it the syrup will turn into Jelly.
Unless you want to make a Crushed Walnut Butter / Syrup Jelly Spread as a peanut butter replacement It is going to take a lot of work to process Walnut Syrup.
P.S. If someone makes the Walnut Butter/Jelly Spread, Make a video or take pictures and tell us how it tastes and textures and stuff.
