They are not walnuts, but look like a pine of some kind.

a close up of the foliage, and nuts if present would help, but my guess would be Juglans nigra

I can,t tell from that picture,but there were a lot of Black Walnut planted in the 80/90's. There was a nursery promoting then as a tree for milling and firewood at the time.

If it's a walnut I'd love to buy some green ones, at the stage where one can poke a needle through them before they ripen I want to try pickling them and can't find any locally sadly to buy. Will watch post and if it is and there's walnuts maybe you could set up an auction for some?

Yep, black walnuts, we had our whole farm covered in them. The nuts themselves are pretty crap, but the wood is amazing for furniture, or firewood

ebygum - yes, you're on to it! Mottly, I have been researching and the nuts sound delicious but extremely hard to crack. The property itself is covered in trees of all types so I suspect they were planted for wood. Cheers!

Yes, the shells are super thick, and the nut inside is quite small. My pig used to eat them like marshmallows! It is stunning timber though, and pretty trees during the summer months. Collect he nuts off the ground, they're fine, rats don't tend to eat them because they're too hard to get into
