[nafex] walnut hybrid

Kincaid Illinois is a few miles west of Taylorville Illinois where I was a veterinarian. It was created as a coal mining town where a large portion of the miners were Italian immigrants.
One of my clients of Italian extraction had a large Carpathian walnut in her yard with many dogs.Knowing my interests she shared several nuts with me. When they germinated
they produced what appeared to be a black walnut seedlings that I planted. I'm a very poor record keeper but I have a tree thirty or more years later that produces a pear shape
husk that a appears more fibrous and organized than other black walnuts and produced a nut that cracks somewhat easier than the run of the mill.Not dry enough to evaluate.
I think at one time the USDA had walnut hybrid station that was terminated due to lack of success.
