Green walnuts

Post #1 - July 8th, 2007, 11:29 amI want to make vin de noix and I'm looking for a local source for green walnuts.
My preferred source - a black walnut tree in a relative's yard in Traverse City - suffered a traumatic collapse last year and doesn't appear to be producing fruit this season.
My other option - thefting some fruit from the huge walnut tree in front St. Mary's-on-the-Lake Church on Sheridan - would involve precipitous tree-climbing and possibly a ticket to Hell (if my lapsed-Catholic wife is to be believed).
Any ideas? More directly, do any of you LTH'ers have access to a walnut tree that you would be willing to let me pilfer? I'd need about three dozen walnuts or so, and there'd be a bottle of hooch in it for you come late fall.

Post #3 - July 8th, 2007, 7:12 pmBesides the permission issues, it really is enormous, with most of the fruit at least 30 feet off the ground and accessible only to squirrels. After an hour of strategizing yesterday, I determined this is not the tree for me.
