Thank you so much for the excellent article. My neighbor, who had 1 black walnut tree saw that 2 small ones were growing, one in his property very close to the fence dividing our properties and another one on my side of the fence. I pulled mine out and he said, oh too bad, it would be nice to have 2 trees. He said that they were very slow growing trees and beautiful, and very expensive trees. He was wrong. It grew very fast. And because his yard is covered with all kinds of trees and bushes near the fence, and all reaching to my yard to get some sun light, the black walnut is doing the same thing. I got every year lots of nuts and leaves AND baby trees, also of his rose of sharon bushes and crepe myrtle tree. Half of the branches of those plants are all on my side of my property. I keep pulling the young plants and cleaning the leaves and throwing the nuts away, because he does not want them either. But now that I have learned how to get the goodies out of them, thanks to you, I will try to enjoy them when fall comes.
