A friend of mine planted a tract of land his parents owned with black walnut trees. The idea is that he can easily retire on the value of the mature trees when the time comes. Not sure how that compares to apples, but there are no inputs post planting.

This is the correct answer.
Black walnut trees outperform apple trees over the long run. You get valuable nuts annually and valuable timber many years down the road.

As a carpenter, I fully concur. Walnut is one of the more sought after and expensive hard woods out there.

We have one in our yard. The nuts are an enormous pain in the ass to get out and they aren't as good as normal walnuts (or at least that's how most people feel). This summer I'm going to try bringing them to a service that will process them in exchange for a share of the walnut butter.

This is my dream to plant walnut garden. If it's not a secret, how many hectares he planted?

I doubt it's a secret, but I don't recall.
