 RH> I've got the butternut trees out back. They feed the squirrels.

Butternuts are white walnuts. They are delicious. Don't let the
squirrels get all of them!

They are hardier than either black or English walnuts and can
survive colder climates. We had an immense one where I grew up in
Cobden, Ont. that my parents planted before I was born; it was the
only nut tree they planted to make it through our winters there.
