Tropical Walnut (or Peruvian Walnut) Source trees are spread throughout Central America and the northern part of South America. Heartwood tends to be darker than temperate walnut species, with a deep chocolate brown color, sometimes with a purplish hue. Tropical Walnut is more expensive than domestic species of Walnut. While you won't find a lot of antique furniture in the U.S. made of Peruvian walnut, the wood has been used extensively in Central and South America for furniture and cabinetry. It also makes excellent interior trim, furniture, cabinetry, veneers, musical instruments, and flooring, though it is on the soft side for high traffic flooring.
