I just noticed a young butternut tree about to shed pollen.  I thought they 
were all gone from this area, where the canker disease killed the last big 
one years ago.  It is growing in higher & drier soil than the original large 
grove, so I wonder how long it will last, even though it survived 2012.  Last 
winter was NOT a fruit-bud test winter-- old fashioned forsythia bloomed 
nicely this spring.

Please inform how to collect, cure, and package for shipping.
