The Social Lives of Trees

[Steppingfeet]

Steppingfeet,
Would you have close by a second Walnut tree ?  it happens that apparently when there is one there is two, one is male and one is female.  And... its fungal is not toxic to all plants, some trees actually will  like it and will thrive next to it.. lol

Really? Well, it produces walnuts each year, so if fertilization is needed, there must be a mate nearby! But it's not in our yard. Maybe he/she is hiding in our neighbors. : )

I planted holly (nellie stevens holly, specifically) because holly does well in part sun, and the canopy of the walnut tree soaks up all the nearby light. I hope that the walnut shares generously with our holly.
