Here's a whole new problem! New baby trees shooting up in the wrong spot

Sigh…

They come up everywhere. Squirrels plant them all over my yard. They forget where they hid their food 🤣. I have several big trees.

This happens at least once every fall. So many walnuts come down that some of them get caught in the fence... #fragrant #midwesternnative #hostplant

Oh wow. Are they ripe to eat ?

I love black walnuts!!

The squirrels think they are ready, @charlotte

A rare action shot of this guy #wildlifewednesday

He’s so dark! Are all your squirrels black? He’s really a handsome guy! @emch

He is one of a set of twins born to my backyard red squirrel. The other twin was hit by a car 😭

I have never seen a black squirrel! Beautiful 🖤

I’m guessing most of your plants are inside

ALL of my non-dormant ones are @docthrill ! I am all 🤞🤞🤞 about the rose seeds stratified a few feet from these trees, on the back deck.

I love black walnuts!

@Susanandsteve it's the best tree!

For the first time this season, snow that is actually sticking. Good timing, Mother Nature, as it appears to be Squidmas Day...
