Lovely - I wish I had the room for some

Cherry (Maynard), Nectarine (Necterella) and Apricot (Flavourcot) for me VegGirl and they are really nice looking trees, very pleased.

Help me decide.  They are selling a walnut tree half price and I think I need one but am not sure.  I was given one for my birthday in January and it's looking like a dead twig in the ground.  Should I buy a new one and pretend it's the one I was given?

I'd love to have room for just 1 walnut... but would you have room for 2 of them if the other survives??  if it does die you could pretend... if you think they wouldn't be able to tell the difference

I don't really have room for one walnut but it was an expensive present from my townie friend.   If I buy another one the first one gets composted.   On one hand they grow like mad, block out the light and the roots poison any competing plants.  On the other hand I quite like walnuts and my friend.   No, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I was keen to have a walnut tree a couple of years ago, but didnlt for all the reasons you have listed.

If I had been given one by a friend though it might take on a different view somehow....

.... and they'd never know it wasnlt the same one

If they both grow, you'll have to give one to a friend too

Oh Dear.  Wish I hadn't seen this post.

Has anyone ever planted fruit trees in their front garden  as I'm seriously running of room. I recently planted a crab apple in the front and would have room for another tree...

Hi Sarajane. My front garden is NE facing and only gets sun in the mornings.  I've put a crab apple in this year and was also thinking of a Morello Cherry...
