Thanks. I went to high school in Massachusetts.

@@petercollin5670 No kidding! Whereabouts? From Lunenburg MA next to Fitchburg, going to UMass at Amherst now.

@@DerTintinfish southeastern Mass, near Providence.

I have driven through the midwest and marvel at how walnut trees grow like dandelions out there.

Police will do nothing. If they have dogs, inject rat poison into a small cut of meat and toss it into their yard. If no dogs, shoot their windows with a BB gun from different angles on different days. Won't regrow the tree but will punish those who killed it

You should

I reported it to the police, but the cop didn't want to include my neighbor's name, who had told me he watched the tree getting cut down, and told me the name of the service who did it. I don't think they plan to do anything about. The whole thing is very fishy. They're closing ranks on me, as I guess it's a crime in Wisconsin, with a big fine, and whoever did has to pay the property owner at least three times the value of the tree in question. I'm not sure if I will ever find out who did this, but perhaps plan on planting a forest of evergreens next spring in the same area.

@@MaryLuminary maybe a letter from a lawyer to the cop and neighbour might get everyones attention. If you have the funds

@@maxsavage3998 Yes, you are right. I might ask for a copy of the police report to give to my insurance company. I may contact a tree lawyer, even to see what they might say.

Thanks, John! Hope all is well by you.

Everything is splendid! I was out for a walk this morning and found myself looking for walnut trees, now that I know how to recognize them :)

I took a trip to Chicago a few weeks ago. While driving through the midwest, I was surprised how plentiful walnut is around there.

Interesting. Can you describe this program?

They have gotten kind of rare here from a canker that hit in the '90's. I plan on doing another tree video this summer, showing butternut. I know where a few stand.

Peter Collin Butternut has the same disease in Wisconsin and surrounding states.

Fred Garvin there are black walnuts in WI too. Very common in the southeast part of the state, and the existence of this species is a big-time pet peeve of mine. As a matter of fact, there’s a baby walnut tree growing in my backyard that I need to get rid of. I tried getting rid of it last year, but apparently it grew back. This year I’ll have to dig it out though.

What did you think of the giant walnut tree in the guy's yard? Your saw could handle it easily!

I wouldn't mind if that showed up on my mill :D

Big green nuts...you sure they aren't just hickory trees?

Hickory nut pods break away in 4 lobes. They don't dissolve away like walnut do. And they don't taste anything alike.

You have no clue how precious trees are. Don't cut them down enjoy the beauty. Why does it always have to be about money the greed of money destroys everything

@@tonibrown6692 Stupid people like that will always be with us.

These are black walnut in the video. I consider them common walnut, because they are the only kind native. I have seen English walnut planted as yard trees, never worked with the wood from them.

If Ontario is like New York, one they reach a certain size, you will have guys asking to buy them from you!

@@petercollin5670 they cut a bunch down in a town a few miles from where i live.

Brian South interesting. Very different climate there!

@@petercollin5670 i only say that because our farm is around 60 acres on a chert pit with a lot of red/yellow clay, it could be completely different in other areas
