So, I'm a new homeowner, and one of the things I absolutely dislike about my new place is that I have a large, obnoxious black walnut tree in my back yard. It drops walnuts everywhere (hull still on), which attract insects of all kinds and dull my lawnmower's blade. Further, they ooze a very strong black dye which is impossible to get off of hands, clothes, or whatever else it touches.

I've heard the black walnut trees are valuable, as their wood creates high-quality furniture and some people really enjoy their nuts. But I just can't stand it anymore.

So, my question is this: does anybody have a black walnut tree in their yard; and, if so, how do you manage it? Has anybody sold a black walnut tree, and what did you get for it?

Really, I'd just as soon have somebody cut and haul it on their own dime, keeping whatever lumber and nut profits they make... any chance of that?
