Comments by the owner of the orchard supply company:

"We have received many comments about the vitality, deep green color, and growth of these young walnuts.  The most significant hardship with late planted walnuts is getting a good stand.  Death losses can be fairly high, so we were very pleased to have lost less than 2% of the total planted trees."

"We are a dealer for Vitazyme in the 530 telephone area code, and we are hearing a lot of comment on this product.  Growers like how it works.  So do we.  Try it on strawberries:  wow!!!"

Death loss at planting:

<2%
