First shoots

Finally the first shoots have appeared, I can start planting them.


I chose to use non-woven bags because there is currently not enough space in the garden for a definitive location.

Stupid me

After planting the first nuts the temperature dropped below -10 ° C at night and did not rise above -5 ° C during the day for a week long. I'm afraid I lost the first batch (the rest was still sprouting in the fridge at 4 to 5 ° C).  To date I have planted 8 nuts.

Harvest 2021

It was a bad year for Juglans regia: late frosts delayed the flowering of the male flowers, resulting in fewer nuts. A cold and wet summer leads to many blackened nuts. Afterwards, the parakeets nibbling damaged many of the nearly ripe nuts. I harvested about 3/4 less in 2021 than in 2020. I only found 1 three-lobed nut in the garden, and it didn't germinate. I also found a tree with large nuts, and one of them was a three-lobed nut. I collected nuts from Juglans nigra, Juglans mandshurica, Juglans cinerea, Corylus colurna and stratificated them over the winter. These are for planting nearby during squirrel walks.
