The trouble of cutting a tree in town is higher than its worth, according to tree cutters who want me to pay them big time. So I will keep the trees, and keep eating black walnuts.

I'm not talking about "if I'd only known"s; I mean opportunities that pounded on the door, wanting nothing but couch-cushion change, then to be forgotten for 40-50 years.<br /><br />I think the lesson is: get up and answer the door!<br /><br />(Emotions represented in this message are for reference only, and do not indicate actual depression or despair.

Lumber from affected trees is usable, and safe to transport if it has been kiln dried. So if you had a large stand of it in the East, I'd suggest to harvest it before there's a glut. It's a shame, because they are rather beautiful both alive and as furniture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
