Almond and Walnut problems - Any ideas
ALMONDS
Here's Almond photo only just taken. Almond has had its outer husk all pealed off then the kernel taken from out of its skin. The floor is covered in husk shaving etc. Any ideas or suggestions. http://www.gb-online.co.uk/plant_cen...os/almond6.jpg WALNUTS Here's some other photos just taken of my Walnut tree (Juglans Regia). The trees are about 15 years old and every year this happens. I have previously just put it down to late frosts killing the tips. But his year we have not had any late frosts. The 30cm tips have been 'chewed', causing the tip to bend over, almost dropping off. The 2nd photo is after a couple of weeks, covering all of the walnut trees. Now this is the first year that these walnuts have had a noticeable large crop. But all of the nuts have now dissapeared, I am wondering if the chew mark was were the nuts were. http://www.gb-online.co.uk/plant_cen...os/walnut6.jpg http://www.gb-online.co.uk/plant_cen...os/walnut7.jpg I apologise for the file size, but I think its justified to illustrate the point. |

Losing nuts can be squirrels, but it's a little early for them to do that. Sorry, dunno. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

It's more likely to be squirrels taking the walnuts, it is a bit early but they will be very hungry. Alan |
