>>1295629I have a few of those in the property now. Some I planted and some just popped up. A few keep popping up in my garden because chipmunks hide the nuts in their tunnels. I have one I need to find a spot for and plant. I have enough trees now to give me plenty of walnuts for all my needs. I have two bags from last season that are finally weak enough to use for food.
You should also mention that the "juglone" is the reason to keep these trees well away from your other trees, shrubs, and gardens. If you use wood chips or leaves from black walnut, you have to make sure it is very well composted before using it as compost. As in broken down over the course of a year, not simply hot composted in a few weeks. I can't find info on how heat stable juglone is.
