The native black walnut trees that grew on the central and Northern coast of California are endangered with only a few stands remaining. The lumber of these giant trees is extraordinarily beautiful: dark, sometimes multicolored and with pronounced grain patterning.
The stands of big native trees are endangered, but the genus will survive as vigorous root stock onto which English Walnut trees are grafted for the production of nuts. Those trees are recognized world-wide for producing the best crops of the biggest and fleshiest nuts.

Grove of Poplar Trees
When I worked as a finish carpenter we installed a lot of poplar. It was less expensive than pine and it holds paint better than almost any wood. It is very absorbent...and hard and tough.
The trees are popular with Los Angeles developers because they grow tall quickly. They make excellent wind breaks and provide shade for houses and yards from the hot California sun. In a few years a brand new development can look "well established".
