Ray has hunted his memory and thinks between 15 and 16 years ago, maybe
a very little longer. At first, he gave his stock answer of 'about 10
years' and when I said 'so since we were married?', he said 'Oh! No.' We
were married 13 years ago! As I said earlier, he remarked that it only
a few nuts two years ago, a few more last year and quite a lot more this
year. I'm afraid we have no idea if there's anything special about the
variety, but I will say that it's on fertile soil that gets very wet
very quickly!


Thanks (and to Ray), I think it must have something to do with the poor
soil here. Prhaps I'll give ours a good feed of powdered seaweed this
winter.
