What better way to make a nut to look bigger than this? Looks like Cobra has a big bomb to use on G.I Joe.

Hybrid Chestnut
We have had Hybrid Chestnut trees for awhile. They have produced chestnuts sometimes. The problem is these are lacking complete hardiness in this location. They needed a better microclimate.
Different Walnuts
I got some nuts of three different Juglans species that I will be planting this spring. I think squirrels wouldn’t mind a few more nut trees growing. From Left to Right: Juglans mandshurica, Juglans hindsii, Juglans cathayensis
Shaggy
Always interesting to cross paths with these trees. The Shagbark Hickory(Carya ovata) is native to my part of Iowa and the nuts taste great. One other Hickory is native to here, that is the Bitternut Hickory and I prefer to not eat those nuts.
Heartnut
There are a few Heartnuts(Juglans ailantifolia) growing here, but the seed source I think is not very hardy. There has been dieback multiple times and only 4 out of 5 are currently alive. This year was the first year that a nut was finally produced. You can see how it got the name Heartnut.
