Is there use for black Walnut trees in Iowa? I purchased a home and the back yard has these black Walnut trees. They are to close to our home and deck. They were a pain to get picked up and remove from yard last year. We cant geep doing that. Hard work for us. I've been told black Walnut trees makes beautiful furniture. Not sure but we need to have then cut down. Any ideas of what would be good for us to do? Thanks
