Problems with black walnut:

You have to get to them before the squirrels.

You have to get past the husk.

They hurt when they land on you while you’re mowing the lawn under them.

“They hurt when they land on you while you’re mowing the lawn under them.”

Black Walnuts dent the siding on your house when you’re mowing in the wrong direction and one gets flung against it. Always mow AWAY from the house. AWAY from the house!

We have FIFTEEN Black Walnut trees; we tell our Son, ‘When we’re gone, cut ‘em down and sell the wood. THAT’S your inheritance,’ LOL!

Yeah, but for all of that, black walnut wood is worth a fortune.
