This page is my research into good planting companions for English Walnut in the UK, this is known as a guild in permaculture jargon.
Walnut cultivars - A table that records the characteristics of different cultivars
Walnut companions - A list of plants that are reported to do well with walnuts
Walnut Economics - Artisan production
My first sketch of a one acre Walnut guild. Roughly to scale, 1ft (marked) = 1 metre
Over time the walnuts will crowd the hazel, may have to resort to coppicing the hazel from about 15 years in. Could provide useful additional nut income in the establishment years (5-15 years)
It would also be possible to run geese through the woodland if you wanted goose eggs + Goose meat
