I took a ride around and looked at all of the black walnut trees that we usually harvest from; I found about 4 good trees out of maybe 50+ trees. The warm weather and then sub zero weather harmed many, many trees and there will b few walnuts this year, unless I search far and wide, which means driving around looking for trees in people's yards, which we have had to do in the past!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just as Dr. John R. Christopher warned over 35 years ago, a year is coming when NO HERB will grow and this may last for 7 years...this is why he suggested each adult should make up at least 5 gallons of good herbal syrup/tincure and keep in the basement and pray you never need it.
