Index of Subjects --001a11438e2af4b0880543f8a27e Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 We don't get native black walnuts but butternut is naturalized from neighbouring New Brunswick. Grimos nut farm out of Ontario sells bare root seedling trees that survive. They also sell shagbark hickory and I'm hoping these will survive NS. Another 50 years and we will have the cucumber magnolia and sassafras. Sook's cookbook of the deep south has the black walnut fruitcake recipe. The cake was originally made with moonshine but it now calls for bourbon which makes baking a real pleasure.
