Walnut Mast year? Maybe? A couple years ago there was a bag of raw walnuts in their shells at the local produce store by the station. It was an impulse purchase. And we ate a couple but it was a lot of work. It was hard to give them away so I ended up planting a couple in terracotta garden pots and forgot about them.. Lucky timing to be yanking weeds out of the pots.. The little weed-like sapling came up okay and showed me the unmistakeable walnut shell. So I planted three little seedling around and they came up nice. The first couple years were doubtul. The main trunk came up skinny and not just leaves but all branches fell off each year. But no they are wide trunks. One was chopped down close to the gound but came back nice and bushy, great shade for the car. Kids can climb it.. Another tree was chopped down at chest height after a neighbor complained about shade and leaves in her garden.. The on tree left alone is big and wide and very cooling with glorious shade. one year caterpillars came and ate all the leaves off the trees. The trees just started over again and put out new leaves. I guess the tree figure out how to deal with the bugs because they weren't back last year.. Maybe the walnut tree learned from the neighboring cinammon tree and bushes how to put off the bugs? Maybe the trees cooperate somehow.. I don't think there have been as many bugs on the cinnamon and persimmon tree recently either. The persimmon and cinnamon trees need to grow out sideways more as the walnut tree quickly came to tower over them and cover more area.. But maybe they help each other out somehow dealing with the extreme winds and rains and bugs... I don't know but it can sure feel nice in their shade, I'm guessing some sort of multi-layered wider-spanning canopy is helpful. Hopefully this years edible green curtain of squash, beans and sunflowers in addition to the up-and-coming morning glories will work out just as well: for cooling at least.. #Walnuts #胡桃 #胡桃の木 #くるみの木

Looks like this could be a "mast year" for walnuts. That saying "the [first] best[est] time to plant a tree is twenty years to ago the next best time is now..." These walnut trees came from nuts I got at the local store by Mimata station. One of them was even sawed down once.. It hasn't been 10 years since I was too lazy to de-shell and eat the nuts so I gave some away and jammed some into terracotta pots. I had forgotten them but was luck when I yanked a plant out of a pot and noticed the walnut shell and the tree still struggling to grow.. Tough plants, great will to survive.. And they cool things down with their shade but don't let their leaves get in the way of the sun in the winter.. They make me feel good..

#walnuts! Well, maybe. Too young a tree still I think. I’ll take this as a teaser.

Did you ever try a red walnut? They're so round and cute. The flavor is milder than other walnut varieties I've tasted. It kind of reminds me of a beetle, or a turtle. #justchatting #food #walnuts #nuts #tasty #EveryDayHasSomethingPositive #BrainBleach
