“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!
No kidding. We cut down a black walnut that had storm damage and gave the trunk to a friend who does wood working. He was thrilled.
Black walnut, sawn, is about $110/board foot (1 foot long, 1 foot wide, 1 inch thick).
Veneer grade black walnut is about three times that.
