"Black-Walnut Cracker made from a Model A Steering Gear"

[nkaminar]

English walnuts are grafted onto black walnut root stocks. I don't know why.

I had a walnut tree when I lived in California and there was a fence that ran from the forest to near the tree. The squirrels would use the fence as a highway to get the walnuts. I set up a Have-A-Heart trap on the fence and would trap at least one squirrel each day. I would take the squirrels at least 2 miles away from my house and let them go. Do you know that squirrels cannot find their way home if deposited at lease 2 miles away?

By the way, a sledge hammer will crack black walnuts.
