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.

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.

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.
