info. says September. Well after busting into a couple of handfuls, I find the nuts to be premature and it got me to thinking that maybe they only fell from the tree because of all of the rain we have been having lately. Are there any experts out there that can confirm my belief or that can give me some good advice as to what to do with these now that they are gathered. I wonder if even though the nuts are premature, will I still be able to use the hulls to make homemade wood stain as the forestry website indicated? Because if that is so, I have a lot more pickins to get so that I can stain my interior walls of my cabin.

Please help, I need all suggestions I can get. and Thank you in advance.
