Thanks, Del.

I'd wondered about colorfastness, and thought you'd indicated in an earlier
thread that it didn't hold well. Have you ever seen "Deming's Purple" black
walnut? If I'm correct, it's a red/purple pigmented cultivar. Been thinking
about trying to graft it & Lamb's Curly, a figured-grained selection,
planting
them close together and see if maybe my grandkids could harvest some purple
curly-grained walnut lumber from resulting seedlings.
