I have two young walnut trees that I'm working on. "I" started these by leaving a bucket of walnuts on the porch, which the squirrels proceeded to eat or bury in the flower beds beside the porch. The next year, several young walnut trees emerged. I waited until the following winter when they were dormant and transplanted them. Can't have a walnut tree growing up in the rosebed below the dining room window.

One of my former bosses has an electric walnut shucker but he lives an hour's drive away...I have one smaller tree that produces black walnuts almost 2X the size of the tree out front (!!!) in the husk and I save those and run my tractor wheels over them to break the husks off them wash them well and store them in my basement over the winter. I just wish there were a more practical way to collect the smaller ones so I don't waste so much time doing so. Kenmac, you say you have people beg for yours...well a few years ago I put out several 5 gallon pails of the nuts out front with a sign marked "Free" well somebody stopped and dumped out the nuts and took the pails....:laughing:
