I have a mature walnut tree which is becoming a bit of a problem and I'd
like to get rid of it, how can I find someone who would be interested in
buying it rather than consign it to the bonfire?

The problem, or one of them, is the damned tree rats which steel most of the
nuts, so leaving very few for my consumption, the other thing is that it is
really far to big for my garden, I have discussed the problem with my wife
and she agrees that it would better for us if it were gone!(:-)

Hmm. I suppose it's not possible to train the squirrels to clean and
bury the nuts in your garden. Our neighbour has a very large walnut tree
and that's what our local squirrels do - they bury them in our garden!
Keeps me in walnuts for the winter!
