I know what you mean about walnut, I’ve always felt they are a bit special for some reason, maybe because not your everyday tree. Tried to send PM but says you can't receive them. ???

DIDO.1 20,846 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Liking the walnut idea but apple and plum trees are also good. They grow readily and you can pick em up as shrubs from places like aldi right now really cheaply 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But Walnut mate they a proper tree get real big and they are lovely trees. I could have bought a whip or a more established tree, that don't do it for me. I foraged them nuts at the same time she was born and planted it so its exactly the same age as her. Also that nut was forming on the tree at the same time she was forming. Its just them little things that give it a bit more meaning if you get where I'm coming from. Atb. Cheers Arry 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caravan Monster 323 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 The old man planted these when my sister and I were born. They've kept a lot of people in cooking apples over the last forty something years. My dogs are buried there as well. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
