@liaizon there is still a few plants in the forest garden but it is pretty common in the area.

@memexikon did you ever try to make dye from it? I don't remember anyone actually making any from indigo at dtv

@liaizon yes it was used for some cloth dying projects. not sure it was ever used for printing ink. I was just trying to find a copy of the little vispo chaplet we printed using black walnut, but I couldn't find it. I think there's only one copy remaining.
