Our tree took nearly 20 years to start.

I'm pretty sure ours didn't take that long, and it was transplanted twice!

Ours was a squirrel-sown one, and we are growing it for the shade,
so it doesn't matter.

Folks, a question
What stage are your walnut trees at right now?

I planted one last year. It took an age to leaf, and its still not out
NOW this year. Its not dead, the buds are sloooowly opening. I am in a
bit of a cooler climate than normal (elevated windy welsh hillside) and
the hedges are always about 2-3 weeks behind, but is this normal for the
end of May??
