Through the year
Emergence
Bud break and leaf emergence typically occur after the last spring frost and when air temperatures consistently rise above 100C.
Flowering
Flowering occurs shortly after leaf emergence, usually within two to three weeks.
Fruiting
Fruit development follows flowering, with nuts maturing over the summer months.
Harvest
Nuts are typically ready for harvest in late September to October, often after the first light frosts which help with hull splitting.
Senescence
Leaves begin to senesce and drop with the onset of shorter days and the first autumn frosts.
Dormancy
The tree enters dormancy after leaf drop, requiring a period of cold temperatures to fulfill its chill requirement for the following spring.
Timing is relative to your local season (temperate Northern Hemisphere).
