I have heard it was your group that came up with the rule of thumb. I know nothing about it! And frankly, these black walnuts we have make fruit akin to small cannon balls so I would not care to be under one if someone was giving it a thump unless I had a helmet.

 

Yep, I've been in an Oak forest in a mast year, you need a hard hat

 

I had a Gum tree in my front yard. They look harmless but if they hit you in the head, they leave holes in your scalp. Kind of like being hit with a nut mace !!

 

Blimey, they look dangerous Annie

 

They are when they fall from up high and that's where most of them are.

 

That tree played a part in my early teen years. It was skateboards as the new toy. Not the big polyurethane wheels that rolled over things but the metal skate wheels. I lost a lot of skin to that tree by the driveway.

 

Was that you with the orange crate in Back to the Future?
