This year I had some Tulare left over (I always have to guestimate how many trees to order in November!) and although they were heeled in I ignored them until the end
- [Spring 2026 Update](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/spring-2026-update/) - 2nd June 2026 Spring this year has followed a continual recurring theme over the last 5-6 years, periods of wet early in the winter and then dry by spring time, last year from January this year from mid March. This has reinforced the absolute necessity of having irrigation in situ before planting as transplanted trees
- [New Washing Line](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/new-washing-line-2/) - I just realsied that I only put the new washing line on social media last year and not on our web site, so recified now.

- [2026 season so far](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/2026-season-so-far/) - Another very disjointed start to the growing season here, it's been relatively mild this winter and led into a cool and dry spring. Not much frost but some cold dry days have led to trees bud breaking and then sitting almost still for weeks on end, much like a lot of the grass. Typical is

Then we had continuous rain until early May and then no rain here to speak of until late September, less than 50mm in 4 months.

- [Unusual Spring again](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/unusual-spring-again/) - Well, following the last two very wet springs this yeas is the polar opposite, until this week we'd had 53mm of rain since December and started irrigating the newly planted trees in March. Potted trees especially are very susceptible to roots drying out as they're grown in fast draining commercial composts and although moisture will
- [Keeping newly grafted trees alive](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/keeping-newly-grafted-trees-alive/) - One of my biggest cares is keeping those new grafted trees alive, most will start to wake up in our hot box grafting system so I try and keep them as close to dormant or held back wherever possible. We get callusing at 12-14 days so once done I get them out and into here.
- [Ton Friesen De Smallekamp](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/ton-friesen-de-smallekamp/) - It is with sadness that I have to report the untimely passing of Ton Friesen of De Smallekamp in the Netherlands.

In the past there were products of good quality available in the UK, unfortunately that's no longer the case so we now import German

- [Walnuts and frost](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/walnuts-and-frost/) - One of the biggest dangers to walnuts is spring frost especially in our Northern European climate, cultivars can break bud from mid-March (very early) through to mid-May (very late) so it’s critical to select the cultivars appropriate to your microclimate. If you rarely have frosts after early March you’re very lucky and have an enormous
- [Mail order changes](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/mail-order-changes/) - Due to changes from Fedex/TNT on 1st March 2024 we can no longer ship larger trees, we are now limited to a maximum length of 1.2m before getting hit by a very large surchage. In reality this means all the main crop bare-root trees will be collection only in the winter, the smaller bare-root specialist
- [Flowering has started early](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/flowering-has-started-early/) - The very mild wet winter with no really cold frosts (-5C Lowest) has meant a much earlier bud break and flowering start, 10-14 days depending on cultivar. This is true of all the different walnut species (including the Carya) and pretty much every Heartnut has juvenile leaves already, we're praying no frosts now but realistically
- [Grafting time](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/grafting-time/) - Grafting this year with smaller rootstocks which isn't as flexible, last year I had many that were 20-25mm diameter in the 100mm above the root line. However the first 100 or so are in the hot-pipe bench and it's up to temperature so fingers crossed. This year I managed to get a lot of scion

- [Common cultivars - our view so far](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/common-cultivars-our-view-so-far/) - One of the biggest blocks to people planting walnuts is the lack of reliable descriptions of cultivars commonly available in the UK. Almost all descriptions of individual cultivars are copies of copies often, of a translation from another language. I've put together a summery of some of these common cultivars with the common descriptions (amalgamated
- [Pecans & Hickory Nuts & some images](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/__trashed/) - I get asked a great deal about growing Carya cultivars for nuts in the UK, Pecans mostly but also Hickories and Hicans.

- [June Update (19th)](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/june-update-19th/) - We got hit hard in December with the coldest temperatures for a long time, -15C on the coldest night but quite a few days below -10, new pot grown small trees we'd planted into the orchard were hit badly and we lost about 8 rare cultivars. Thankfully there were back-up plants for most of them
- [Providing trees for others](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/providing-trees-for-others/) - I'm still not sure how we ended up selling trees, it's great we can provide what are very hard to find cultivated nuts but it can be time consuming.

- [Spring & Male Catkins](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/spring-male-catkins/) - 2022 has been another strange, if much better spring. Very dry with less than 25% of normal rainfall (irrigating already!)and although it was frosty on and off until min April it's been generally Ok since then with only a few leaves catching a cold. The regular frost has meant we have the odd situation of
- [Hill Frost Test](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/hill-frost-test/) - Just planted 3 late leafing varieties on our highest bit of ground as a test for a future orchard. We're hoping the extra 30m will make a significant different for late spring frosts, time will tell but the last few years have shown this to be a good site. The 3 trees are Franquette, Chandler

- [Late season!](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/late-season/) - Finally we're starting to see juvenile leaves on most varieties of walnut with Fernor & Lara & Bonifac & Kesei just about breaking the terminal bud.

- [De Smallekamp Trees](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/de-smallekamp-trees/) - We have been informed that De Samllekamp are not grafting this winter which means we will not have any of their trees this coming year 2021. We are hoping that they will be back to normal next winter but it does mean we have no Carya cultivars of any sort this coming year having sold

- [New Shelling line in action](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/new-shelling-line-in-action/) - Test run of the the new walnut shelling line from AMB Rousset. Despite putting mostly seedling nuts through it works really well, sorting the nuts by size with our homemade Sizer before cracking will improve the process even more saving a lot of manual labour.
- [Rain at last](https://www.warwickshirewalnuts.co.uk/uncategorized/rain-at-last/) - Another spring gone and the rain has given the trees a boost after a really cold dry spring. Most of the earlier leafing varieties got frosted this year which really knocked them back and even the late varieties were held. Some varieties have lost all their female flowers which is unusual but gives us an
