In the background of the Vegetables, Fruits, Nuts and Herbs course, you learned about the core concepts. Are there any other key issues that you think a grower needs to know?

About walnuts I read: "Walnut trees stand alone as no other plants flourish under their spreading crown".

On my farm there are several good companions for walnuts which are all doing well: hazelnut shrubs, elderberry shrubs, wild cherry trees, mulberry trees and sweet chestnuts.
