A little off topic, but I concluded years ago that the easiest way to
profit from a black walnut tree was to sell black walnut seedings, because the nuts themselves took too much processing.
Turns out I was wrong, because black walnut syrup is tasty and sells for quite a bit, plus it can be pulled from trees too young to produce nuts!
A bit more on topic, I have a nice tree that I actually kidnapped from a semi wild place.
I had no idea what it was when I grabbed it, I just wanted to plant a tree with my sister.
It's a box elder, a kind of maple that is considered a "trash tree" by many people, but it gives good shade and just today I ate some mighty tasty seeds right off the tree today.
