Great suggestion! Yes that's a great idea. It may not extend the life of the tree itself, but it will extend the tree's productivity. Thanks for writing!
Isn’t it a chemical that is produced by the walnut roots that affect the apples? I heard that the apple tree should be at least 100ft from any English walnut (don’t think the black walnut has the same affect).

Excellent info, love it! How bout grafting onto an old tree? Would that in any way help extend the tree’s life?

Wow i had no idea that a hollow tree is a good thing!
I know! Me too! It has changed my attitude about growing trees on standard full sized rootstock because they can live a long time…

Yes sadly the roots exude the chemical too and Black walnuts are also a problem!
@@Orchardpeople Also, we had issues with our black walnut’s fruit being poisonous to the plantings near them.
