Could you tell me the height ( and likely diameter of the trunk) in 20 years and at maturity?

Hello, it much depends on growing conditions, and the genetic makeup of the seed but in ideal conditions, it should be like 30-40ft tall and 20-25ft wide with 3/4ft thick trunk. We have vigorously growing ones and almost dwarf ones from seed. I hope this helps. Best regards, Madeleine

Info on web suggests 25 years to fruit, needs another tree nearby and unlikely to fruit from seed. Why is this not true of this product?

Hi, although the listing does not state when it will fruit first, I can assure you that the information you refer to is not accurate. It does not need 20 years to fruit but less than half (the seeds of these are the seeds of a tree which were sown 10 years ago in Central Europe), it will fruit on its own (male and female flowers are separate but all on the same plant) and it is likely to fruit from seed - (how otherwise it would self-propagate in nature ?) (the opposite would contradict the first bit too). :) All seedlings are different, therefore we can not guarantee exact fruiting age but it is extremely unlikely, that it will be anything more than 8-10 years. I hope this helps. Best wishes, Madeleine

Self fertile if you mean self pollinating the answer is yes. I can add that they take Three years to produce fruit(Nuts)
