Well you certainly do need room, they grow about 50 feet across, and about
th same height!

Do they come true from seed? I'd expect a lot of variation.

Less than you might think - they haven't been modified much by
cultivation, because they didn't need it.

I don't understand. Ours has grown little over the last five years and yet
still supplies us with walnuts for over christmas.

I don't think ours has even reached 50' yet.

How long do you reckon it'd take?

Depending on conditions, anything from 50 years upwards. Ours is in
near-ideal conditions, and grows 1' a year.

Do you have another 49 years?

God, I hope not! By the standards of my female line, I might - but, given
my medical history, not a chance. Admittedly, the reasons that I am the
oldest male for at least 4 generations (perhaps many more) in all branches
of my paternal line (at 58) are not inheritable.

But a walnut tree will grow to a decent size in 20 years on fertile loam
in the south, and ours is a bit older than that.

I can't wait as long as that, even if I had 50' - or 20' spare :-)

I've never let another one grow so I have no idea, but I can assure you that
they all come from the seed from my tree!

All my neighbours for miles around all have walnut trees growing in their
gardens.

Mine has been in the ground for about 35 years.
