Through the year
Emergence
Bud break and leaf emergence typically occur after the last spring frost and when air temperatures consistently rise above 50C.
Flowering
Flowering occurs in late winter to early spring, often in February, after sufficient chill hours have been met.
Fruiting
Nuts begin to form and mature approximately 150 days after flowering.
Harvest
Nuts are typically ready for harvest from late August through September as they ripen and fall from the tree.
Senescence
Leaves begin to change color and drop with the first autumn frosts and shortening day lengths.
Dormancy
The plant enters dormancy after leaf senescence, triggered by the first autumn frosts, and remains dormant through winter.
Timing is relative to your local season (temperate Northern Hemisphere).
