Comments (4)Pineresin-You sure are good at identifying my noxious garden growth in that land I bought. I have YET to see one squirrel (or even hear one rustling in the leaves) on that property. The nuts were sort of on just on one side of the tree so I wasn't 100% sure if they came from the tree or brought there by something/someone else. The someone else part? The nuts were located by a beer can. :-/ This property supposedly was owned by a gardener but good grief, the crabapple in the area has its original supporting stake growing right through it. Okay, must research Silverberry... Yeezus (as my Norwegian relatives would say). Thanks again for the ID! Maria...See MoreTrees Along My Walk

Comments (63)Maureen, I would recommend contacting your extension agent or local forester for more information on who you might contact for potential removal/purchasing. Trees grown in yard or farmstead settings - unless carefully managed - will likely not attract a great deal of attention from timber buyers due to potential for old nails, wire, etc that may exist under in the tree. I'm in west central WI and had 4 20"+ Black Walnuts we needed to remove last year and we couldn't give away the trees (the trees were farmstead trees/woodland bordering trees). A local timber buyer had zero interest - even in just giving them away - nor did anyone want them for wood burning. We did end up giving some chunks of the logs away to friends though who wanted some for woodworking. While I like Black Walnuts in general, I do not like them in a yard setting as a selection of other plants are not tolerant of the junglone (basically a natural herbicide of the BW) produced from the seeds, roots, and leaves. Good luck!...See MoreJohn (Sacramento Valley, CA 9B)
