How to Prevent Black Walnut Trees Walnuts From Growing

[Malbert]

My neighbor has a beautiful Black Walnut Tree that unfortunately needs to be trimmed back every few years because it keeps growing back over my backyard patio and garage. When the Walnuts start to mature the squirrels go crazy and make a mess that need to be cleaned up at least once a week. You also need to be wary of nut falling on your head when barbequing or sitting on the deck.

The past couple of years the tree has been growing walnuts every other year. This year was a good year but I'm anticipating next year to be not so good. So I'm looking for a solution to prevent the walnuts from growing every year.

If there are not proven solutions I'm thinking I my have to ask my neighbor to cut the tree down.

There is a product called Snipper that can limit nut pruduction. It has to be injected into the root flair of the tree. Available through tree stuff.
Timing has to be perfect for injecting but it will work if you time it just right.

This sounds like a "highly valuable black walnut tree." If you miss your window to treat the tree and if your neighbor refuses to trim the tree, do local or state laws allow you to trim it if it grows over your property?

Can't help but be that close if you only have a 33' wide lot.

Yes, local laws would allow me to trim any limbs growing over the property line. If I could find a solution to the walnut production, I would prefer that option. Yes I read that black walnut trees have some value for the cabinet and hardwood furniture craftsmen folks, but I'm not sure how to go about that. Anyway it would require my neighbor to agree. I saw another thread about an injectable product call 'Snippet' so I will ask the local tree business guys about that. Thanks for the post.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind as a possible solution. Looks like it need to be injected in the Spring.

That lovely vid was made by one of our members here.

I think I'll look for that Snippet myself. I have a huge walnut tree as well and it's a mess in the early fall. Otherwise it's a great tree.

Who?
Are there other videos similar to this one?

 

[mu2bdriver]

Yup. Several of them and they're all worth watching for a good laugh. I didn't know but am not surprised an AS'er came up with them.

And how would a person find them?
I looked up kevjay777 on Youtube and didn't see any others.

I stand corrected. I searched for them and there were a bunch of other similar-style videos relating to gun stores, why Glocks are bad, etc. the one you posted above was the only one I could find related to tree stuff. Apologies for any confusion.

Were the gun videos made by the same person> If so, can you post a link to them?

 

[mu2bdriver]

I don't remember but when I get back to my laptop I'll look for them. Probably tomorrow.
