Filazels can show up in fall with color. In a few years these bushes should bear large quantities of nuts.

Popcorn Shrub
Yellowhorn is a tall shrub that is also known as Popcorn Shrub because of the flowers. This plant can produce edible nuts.
Fall Ritual
Picking up Black Walnuts in the fall is a messy, but fun experience.
Yellowhorn Seedpods
My young Yellowhorn bushes flowered this year and started to develop seedpods. Also known as the Popcorn Shrub because of how the flowers look.
Yellowhorn Flowering
The Yellowhorn(Xanthoceras sorbifolium) has started flowering at a young size and age. The end result should be edible nuts. Pretty good for an ornamental flowering shrub.
Late Season Harvest
Carrots are dug up before the ground freezes. Need to still get off the hulls of the big Black Walnut harvest.
Chestnut Brain
I like the pattern on Chestnuts.
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
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.
