I have 10 eastern black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) in various stages of growth around my house (8-50 years old) I'm wondering how I can make them as healthy and grow as fast/big as possible? I'm not trying to make it financially viable for nuts or timber I just want to see how big I can make them in the next 30 or so years for the fun of it and satisfying my own curiosity.
It would be awesome and probably impossible to grow one to 5+ ft in diameter and 120+ feet tall in that time but I will dream on.
So far I'm thinking of cutting competing trees, using 10-10-10 fertalizer, watering, and triming dead limbs.
Im open to any advice or experience. Are there any resources that I could read?
