I am thinking of planting a walnut tree, but wonder if squirrels will eat
all the nuts. I have cob nut bushes but the nuts always disappear.

I planted a walnut tree about 35 years ago, and I wish I had had more
knowedge about the size it would grow to, I would have planted it in a
different place.

They grow about 40 feet high and 40 feet across, and yes the damned
squirrels do take a lot of the nuts but there are now so many I do get a
good supply, I'm still eating those which I collected from last year, but I
will have to give some of them away as this years are now falling.
