That could be your climate. We've got a catalpa, and it's done nothing in the two years we've been here. We know what they _ought_ to look like, we've seen them in France. He might have better luck with a walnut where he is. But that's a though, Snr Alves - how about a catalpa? They don't like wind BTW. Andy We have a couple of American walnuts in our local park. Very fussy about fruiting. Usually nothing, but other years plentiful. The hulls stain your skin a rather nice tan colour In Victorian novels British spies in India always stained their skin with walnuts. When I was a kid we had a walnut tree in our garden in Reading. It had lots of nuts every year. Assuming it was planted when the house was new or later, it must have been less than 30 years old. It's the green outer case that delivers the dye. I've seen an infusion in alcohol, sold as a cure for something or another, that's bright green. Strange that. |
