How long has it taken to get to fruiting size?

10-15 years, ignoring the occasional nut on smaller trees.

It is now 19 years old (last birthday), but it has had some nuts on
for a few years now, but never as many as this year.

What a strange fruiting year it is, my Victoria plum is so burdened
with fruit it may collapse but on several varieties of apple there are
scarcely any fruit to be seen. Even the reliable regulars seem to be
having a rest.
