The kernel of the nut is edible as soon as it falls from the tree.
However, the shell of the nut is encased in flesh. Pale green, smooth skinned and about a quarter inch thick it is rather hard. It will cause severe discomfort to the tips of your thumbs if you try to peel it at once by hand.
You can use tools if you are in a big hurry. If not, leaving the nut alone for a few weeks will cause the flesh to soften. The process is marked by steady darkening in colour. It becomes easy to open by hand, and the delay gives the nut a few weeks to "ripen" which improves the flavour.
Be warned. Peeling away the flesh by hand, whether or not you leave it to soften, will stain your fingers dark brown. This wears off in about a week, or you can wear rubber gloves.

How soon can you eat a walnut after falling from tree?
It depends on how high you were in the tree when you fell, for example if you were only a couple of feet, right away. If it was 20 feet and you broke your legs, a few days.But it also depend upon how strong your legs are because after falling you are not able to do that Approximately 3 weeks, depends on when you wake up from your coma. Wait, you weren't holding on to the walnut when you fell, were you? Because, chances are, it was crushed when you tumbled off the tree. Sorry. Don't worry, though! You can always buy walnuts at your local supermarket. ______________________________________________________________________ Okay,First, are you dead??
