There's a black walnut (黑胡桃) tree in my backyard. I've been in an 18-year love-hate 1 with it. It's a 2 tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs 3 the heads of you. Patio (露台) umbrellas are a must while dining in the garden in early August, and because of the volume of fruit this season, I wear my bike 4 while working in the garden.
The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a 5 strategy. It's harmful to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with 6 that maybe the black walnut would 7 them, but they failed to 8.
Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my 9 backyard? Yes, however, getting rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87 -inch trunk is 10. It's also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that inhabit it. Trees are 11 to numerous birds and insect species and are essential for keeping our environment 12.
Sometimes I think about my 13 without the black walnut. I can't imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I'd miss falling asleep on 14 weekend afternoons as I 15 into its leaves before the nuts threaten to fall.
Every spring, I wonder what the season 16 . What are the chances of being knocked 17 while barbecuing? Like any good relationship, I'll never be pleased. I'm 18with this tree, 19 , my walnut offers a home to wildlife and a 20 that acceptance, instead of resistance, is the better way to be.
