Butternut (White Walnut)

Butternuts were the favorite baking nut of my grandmother. She used to tell stories about using these nuts and she missed them not being available on our farm the last quarter of her life. The last one died on our farm probably 25 years ago, but I will be planting some myself. My uncle’s farm has 2 trees on it, but the squirrels are in heavy competition for these nuts.
