Affording a pretty view from our kitchen window, up close and personal it is even more stunning and quite intriguing. A Mother's Day gift from Joe several years ago, the Twisted Nut Tree offers varying beauty, seasonally. Its bare winter branches are kept as such by trimming away all straight ones that might grow from the base; snow-laden twists are something to behold. Springtime offers blooming chains, way before anything else comes alive. The leaves that start in spring become dense in the summertime, hiding the pretty branches. It is the last to lose its foliage in the fall. We've yet to experience the first nut crop; and we don't even know if it is supposed to bear fruit. We do know that nut trees take many years to come to fruition.
We added a second of this variety in our pool area
and we highly recommend getting twisted!
