We have a black walnut tree and there is nothing that takes it off. We have tracked them in on our beigh carpet and it is there to stay. We don't use the nuts, the squirrels get them all, that I don't pick up. They are a messy tree but it is such a big beautiful tree, I hate to cut it down. My husband has threatened for years to chop it down, but I wont let him. He really hates the tree and I am about to give in to letting him get it cut. It is so messy.

I'm sure glad YOU have those black walnuts!!!! My grandma & aunts loved them but I could never stand them, unfortunately!! The trees, however are lovely, & the wood is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! As fo getting the stains out of your skin, I'd also suggest mechanics Goop & time.

and banana nut bread and divinity, yum. Also had some type of fungus on one of my fingers as a child. My granddad said to scrape/pulverize a green hull and spread it on the area & bandage it. Continue til wound was gone. Well it took only a few days and it was cleared. Some think that the hull has iodine in it. Don't know the pharmacology of a walnut hull, but "whatever" it worked. He also said that this was good for warts.Sad that I haven't seen any in Houston area or central Texas. The ones I have bought in stores always seem rancid.

Well you would think I would know, cause my grandparents had black walnut trees on their farm. Boy, I remember shelling about a ton of those things every year for Christmas baking. I sure don't remember how we got our hands clean though. Probably just let it go away slowly with dish washing and all! Makes me homesick for the old days...
