Great-tasting nut
The tree started out well and is growing vigorously. I don't expect nut trees to bear for a few years, but for some reason mine had a single nut the year I planted it. Maybe I was supposed to pinch it off to concentrate more energy into tree growth, but I couldn't bear to do that. Four of us shared the walnut at Thanksgiving (this is the first time in our lives that we have lived far enough south to grow walnuts - our first was truly a special occasion) and I was pleasantly surprised to find at the rich flavor. Better than I was used to from grocery store nuts.

My english walnuts
My english walnuts and granny Smith apples went through a rough winter beautifully!!! The apple trees r already loaded w small apples! I may have to brace them. I know where i wil go for more blueberries. They didn't make it. But I have always had bad luck w blueberries. It's not the fault of the product!

Healthy and fast growing.
I have used Stark Brother's English Walnut and pecan trees for years. When I moved to Mt. Washington, KY three years ago - to our new home - I ordered three English Walnuts. The trees are thriving, one already about four feet tall. All are fully leaved and healthy. Back home, my Stark trees are all healthy and produce lots of pecans and walnuts, which we miss. However, in about three years might have a few English nuts from my young trees.

Still Waiting
My first died and Stark was great about replacing. Now I am waiting on my trees to get old to have nuts. Probably still a couple of years off. At least the trees look healthy.

Its still alive this spring
This one is still alive. The others I ordered died the second year, we will see.
If this one does, I will not order any more.

Too soon to tell
The plant looks fine and came through a mild Maine winter just fine. But it is too soon to tell how it will do for the longer haul because this is just year number 2. A neighbor nearby who recommended it is having very good luck and getting plenty of nuts from his 5-6 year old tree, so that is what I look forward to.
