Thanks for the reply, clhw!
     Odd, the fields where the Black Walnuts are growing ( they are very
old!), hasn't been bush hogged in a few years and i do scout around them.
 No sign of seedlings at all in the mess.  I am one who scavenges for
trees, so do not think i am missing any there.  I will ask a forester
buddy of mind what he thinks.  He's been a great pal and resource of
young nut trees that are natives. I hate to think of them going away out
here, as the biggest is quite old, and has had a few big limbs drop in
the last two years - and nut production dropped off about the same time. 
Maybe it's just these few years and the weather changes causing it.  I
know how slowly they move in life ( thinking Ents!!).
