Last weekend about 5 or 6 of the black walnut seedlings started bushing out inside their tree shelters - it was a thrilling moment for the nacent tree farmer. Somewhat like the first dollar from a paying customer, except not worth as much.
The trees look totally ridiculous inside the shelters, but from everything I've read, they should thrive.
Today I took another walk to the farm. We are in the middle of a solid week of rain - should be good for the trees. All the walnuts are leafing out except for about 8. That means 25 have survived this far, a 25% survival. From what I hear, that's not too bad, and there is still hope for the others.
