Are they just purely a type of Juglans Regia grafted onto a black
walnut Juglans Nigra ???
Or what ???
If they are not grafted why are they so expensive.
Or better still where can I buy one at the cheapest price in the UK
(lower than £20). As I do not see any for sale as bare rooted.

I'll be happy to sell you one for less than £20, as the damned squirrels
keep planting the nuts so I always have 10 or more new trees growing every
year.

I'd love to have space for several! But have you brought any of your
seedlings on to fruiting? If I were going to plant just one or two
trees, I'd want to choose a variety likely to produce before I became
fertiliser -- just as with any other fruit tree.
