WALNUT YIELDS

Miz Judy & Mel #41 开云体育 The problem with the Walnut family is that they will leaf out, or flush, after a few days of warm weather in the spring unless held back by something like reflecting the heat, and if they leaf out too early the buds will be caught by later frosts or freezes and there will be no nuts. Then maybe..this is why some years ours never had walnuts . Or does a walnut tree only produce every other year really well?
Cliff Beckwith #48 Hik That could be part of the reason. Many trees need all their energy to mature the fruit or nuts. If there are no nuts or fruit to mature, then the trees energy goes into making fruit buds for next year. This is why trees tend to "aternate" with heavy crops one year and little the next. Probably the only connection with this and Omega 3 is that Walnuts do have a significant amout of Omega 3, as does flax oil, and if a person is young enough to reap the benefits, or just wants to leave something good for posterity, planting trees for nuts may be a good way to do it.
