c. 20 years.

I won't hold my breath then. I like the foliage, but nuts at some stage
would be a plus , of course.


If you buy a grafted walnut of a named variety, it will produce
nuts much faster. The nuts will also be better in one way or another than a
seedling walnut. However, the young tree will
cost quite alot.
