The nuts for raising young trees may be planted at any time between October and the end of February, 3 in. deep and 1-1/2 ft. apart. Train to a single stem 8 to 10 ft. high, removing all the side branches as soon as they make an appearance. The following year they may be planted in their permanent location, which should be high, yet sheltered from frost. Two of the best tall-growing varieties are Thin-shelled and Noyer Bijou. The Dwarf Prolific makes a good bush tree.
