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, typically within two to three weeks.
Fruiting
Fruit development begins after flowering and continues through summer, with nuts maturing in late summer to early autumn.
Harvest
Nuts are typically ready for harvest from late September through October as they fall from the tree.
Senescence
Leaves begin to change color and drop with the first autumn frosts and shortening day lengths.
Dormancy
The tree enters dormancy after leaf drop, triggered by the first autumn frosts and decreasing photoperiod.
Timing is relative to your local season (temperate Northern Hemisphere).
