I was told that I can make lots of money with a plantation of black walnut. From $ 10,000 to $ 55,000 for trees 35 years. Is that true? And where I can confirm this information?

If so, I would strongly encourage you to reconsider as Maine is definitely outside the prime growing region for black walnut.
