Hi -
This is probably a bit off post but I can't find an email link to you so this will have to do.

We have recently started a tree & plant centered blog in the UK. I was searchig for black walnut info and found your posts. Your site was so interesting that I have done a post on your blog rather than clack walnut (for the time being). I hope I have my facts straight, but it would be cool if you could take a look at it at http://blog.ashridgetrees.co.uk/a-blog-for-tree-lovers-even-in-the-uk/ to make sure I have not misrepresented in any way.

Thanks (and well done)

Julian
