I am hoping that you can shed some light on a family mystery. About 52 years ago after the '48 flood of the Fraser River my father-in-law started a replanting of his dairy farm on Matsqui Prairie. One of the trees that he planted was a walnut tree that was given to him at that time by a fellow (now deceased) who was a member of the local "Horticulturist Society". Needless to say the tree has done very well over the years but I am doing some research for him (he's legally blind and still living on the home site) as to the origin of the tree. The only thing that we have to go by is the metal tag that came attached to the tree. It is a thin aluminum tag, cut by hand, crudley at that, with the number "1335" hand written on it. The tree is an excellent producer with many large nuts every year. My other research has only pointed in the direction that this may be a New Zealand cultivar. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Gary Fast
