Nope---English walnuts are the good ones. Black walnuts come in a shell so tough that, by the time you've whacked it hard enough to crack the shell, you've pulverized the nutmeat. When we were building our house, numerous loaded concrete transit mixers ran over nuts on the driveway, and all they did was push the whole nuts down into the packed gravel. We call them "organic rocks"! If we dump them somewhere else on the property, we get fat "digger squirrels" (don't need to encourage them!) and/or black walnut tree sprouts (ditto). Plus, black walnuts come in a thick "wrapper" that quickly rots into a disgusting, staining goo, so I want them gone out of my yard, ASAP. The "gleaners" for the local food pantry won't touch them. In the summer, it's a huge, lovely shade tree, or it would have been long-gone....
