Author Biography

Charles Hulbert-Powell lives in East Sussex where he has grown, looked after and harvested walnut trees for many years. He has travelled widely visiting walnut growers throughout the world, so has been able to make useful comparisons between different varieties and growing conditions. His experience and the advice he offers in this book will be invaluable to anyone planning to plant a walnut grove, or who just wants to know about the history, folklore and uses of the walnut tree and its fruit.
