We live in the eastern panhandle West Virginia - at the northern end of the Shenandoah valley. We have a line of trees along our property edge. Most of these trees are 50' tall and possibly a hundred years old. In this line are several trees that drop multitudes of golfball-sized green "fruit" each fall. Cutting into this reveals something that resembles a walnut.

Question - are these likely to be the same kind of walnuts you get in the super market? If so, how do I get them from the round green stage to the point where they are hard and brown and have that little "Diamond Brand" logo stamped on them? [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
