I am looking to obtain the fruits of a Black walnut tree.
I am willing to collect & pay for them.
I live in the Bolton area.
I do not know when the fruits are ready to harvest, probably after summer.
I would be most grateful for any offers or advice.
If you want to eat them: the juices in the fleshy surround to the
nuts (pericarp?) will stain your skin brown.
If you want to grow them: Juglans nigra is notorious for
preventing other plants from growing under its canopy and within
reach of its roots. They seem to poison the soil.
