My English Walnut tree is very susceptible to cold temperatures. Just like squash, pumpkin and similar types of garden plants, this tree can't take temps below freezing, much less low 20s.
This tree is the last tree to leaf out in the Spring. Usually not until June. Every year I hold my breath wondering if the tree made it another year. Then all of a sudden it leafs out and has the biggest and thickest leaves all Summer long.
Late in the Spring. Early in the Fall. Toss in one year when the cattle ate a number of leaves and another year when the horses did the same and no wonder this is only as big as the tree has gotten in 10 years from a sapling 18 inches high. No walnuts yet.
