Living in the desert in a newer area my weeping cherry in the front yard is 3 1/2 ft tall, and my Globe willow in the back is a spindle that measures 6ft tall. I wish I had a big tree that gave us some shade and brought us some squirrles! We do have rabbits though!IfiHadaHammerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921814523610630979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-27845505592845791932009-05-13T11:22:00.000-04:002009-05-13T11:22:00.000-04:00I know how messy these trees can be, but to have a...I know how messy these trees can be, but to have a year's worth of delicious walnuts is totally worth it. I rented a place one winter that had one, and we collected up the nuts. We stored them the way the neighbours told us to, and by Christmas we had bowlfuls ready to eat. My little bro was fighting cancer at the time, and he was completely hooked on them. Black walnut is a powerful healer - we like to have the tincture on hand for all sorts of things. Definitely a tree worth defending :)Ureshiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553995940302769256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-20188023319806136742009-05-13T07:33:00.000-04:002009-05-13T07:33:00.000-04:00very funny- I see both points of view- twisted my ...very funny- I see both points of view- twisted my ankle on one a few years ago- ugh!Debinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-34703894303351295322009-05-11T18:22:00.000-04:002009-05-11T18:22:00.000-04:00We have had our share of tree issue over the years...We have had our share of tree issue over the years, though not Black Walnuts - aka - ankle breakers. We had a ginko at our old house, when you stepped on the fruit it smells like vomit. Such a pretty leaf but the berries stink!holly aka gollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165342819918461245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-70117126344826712282009-05-11T12:17:00.000-04:002009-05-11T12:17:00.000-04:00Oh honey...I feel for both of you.

You can crack the nuts...use a bench vise. :^) Bake him a black walnut pound cake and maybe he'll come around. <br />Underplant with hostas. They tolerate the juglone just fine. Astilbe do well too.Lynn Lungerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572317461703301850noreply@blogger.com
