Beautiful canopy…shade is great in the summer…then fall comes along with about 2 tons of walnuts. Can’t give them away around me cause everyone knows someone with a walnut tree…damn squirrels…they plant them everywhere.

I threaten that tree with ‘choppage’ every fall. So much work…then spring comes and we forgive each other.
