I guess I got in on the tail end of the original thread and it sort of burned out. Any thoughts on this?


Jorge, Oregon timberlot specialists in walnut say it takes between 50 and 80 years to get good wood with at least a twenty-eight inch diameter. They are using hybrids in some cases to better the production expected from European and eastern US stock.
