Nature’s perfect protector, walnut exhibits its own particular form of quiet strength. Its husk surrounds to protect, the cracking of which requires patience and determination. The tree itself produces a chemical that oxidizes in soil, preventing unwanted guests from encroaching upon its own growth. And any affront to its bark or wood results in a spicy aroma saturating the air. This dyestuff is stronger than it looks, quiet but proud. And its subtle powers of protection manifest perfectly in a delicate range of light, silvery taupes, for anyone or anything that needs a little shelter from the storm.
