Index of Subjects Black Walnuts are very common here in SE PA, and my family harvested and processed many bushels of them every year. Tho they have a strong (delectable) taste, I don't recall that we ever found a tree which bore nuts that were bitter. There may be some, but seems a rare trait, at least down here. Might be worth your while to check elsewhere than the place you found the bitter ones, if NS has Black Walnuts elsewhere. I could also send you a few nuts (assuming they'd pass Customs), but I can't vouch they'd be hardy in NS, altho they seem not at all cold tender here.

Today I cracked a few open, and found they tasted quite bitter. I was planning on planting a black walnut tree as a fruit tree, but now I have second thoughts. Is the bitter taste to be expected? Is there a possibility to make them more palatable? Thanks for any insight, Burkhard --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
