Hello Amelia,
   Just one caution about heartnuts.  I had witches broom which started in 
one tree with branches just above a thornless blackberry and spread to the 
whole grove of 8 trees.  I don't know much about this disease or how it is 
transmitted, (I suspect it is transmitted by sucking insects) but it 
appeared to come from my blackberries to the heartnuts.  On the heartnuts I 
got whole bunches of small branches growing out of the larger branch and an 
almost complete stop in nut production.   I cut down the trees.  They 
sprouted and the sprouts looked good for two or three years, vigorous and 
healthy, but then the witches broom started infecting them again.  I noticed 
it in one black walnut and cut it down.  Now I have no heartnut and no 
witches broom.  The heartnuts were seedlings, not grafted, for what that's 
worth.    Hector Black, zone 6 middle tn
