The big tree we used to have got smacked by lightning and we had it cut down before it split further and fell on the house. Tree rats planted walnuts from a tree down the street next to the stump - probably specifically for their own use.
I like the flavor, but getting actual walnut meat is a bit labor intensive. Gives the squills a little purpose in their lives, though! SW
