Has anyone any experience with Walnut 'Lara'?

For example, how quickly would it crop, is it self fertile? I'm interested
in both Walnuts and Cobnuts, but have very little space to fit them in, so
need self fertile, and small, bush type trees.

Forget walnuts if you don't have much room.

I have grown both and the walnut is at present about 30 feet high and 30
feet across,
it is about 25 years old and has been fruiting for about 18 years, although
for many
years I got very little from it due to the squirrels which are now a little
under control.

The cob grew to about 20 feet high and 20 feet across, it could have been
kept
smaller but the size didn't worry me, I have had to drastically reduce it's
size as my
neighbour took exception to it growing over her garden allthough her
boyfriend did
like the produce it left on his side of the fence.
