It is kind of early here but on a walk at High Cliffs State Park I picked up a few shagbark hickory nuts. They are sitting in a damp paper towel in a baggie in my refrigerator. I have tried to grow hickory nut trees but the chipmunks rip them out an eat the nut off the roots, I have a plan to stop this this year.
Black walnut trees grow like weeds around here as do some oaks. But a disease has been killing the huge red oaks so I will be trying to propagate different varieties on my farm. I know I will not reap what I sow, myself, but so many trees are being destroyed, I want a lot on my farm for my kids etc.
