my big walnuts...

[Sackett2]

nope, all the tree is in firewood sizes, as well as a pine tree farther down the road. looks like he is opening up space. Sad as this tree was next to the irrigation in pipe, so no tractor/field gain was accomplished...

There are thousands of acres of English walnut orchards around this part of the North Sacramento Valley. The trees are grafted--California black walnut root stock, English walnut scion. Crain in Los Molinos CA handles the processing. The walnut shells go to the processors that turn them into grit for grit blasting use. The roadside produce stand along CA 99 feature the local walnuts and almonds.
