Trimming trees can reduce next seasons crop depending upon when Trimming is done and how much of the new buds are on what's cut. Walnut nut trees produce catkins which get pollinated and become the nuts. We have several pollinator trees in orchard for that.

Our place is really small compared to the major groves in Northern California. We produce enough to pay the growing costs, most of the time, and keep us in agricultural preserve. Ag preserve reduces property taxes on the part of the property that's actually farmed. Property has been in wife's family since mid 70's.

Three family households help run everything but we all have full time jobs off property. That's what pays our family bills and my Boxster running.
