You have been asking for it and here it is. This is a hybrid that owes part of its origination to a Faroka parent that was originally from Mr. Gellatly of British Columbia.  This tree is a good grower with large nuts, decent production.   This is a layered tree (clone) good for zones 5b and warmer.  Grow as a small tree or as a bush.  Many will produce nuts in the second year after planting with a good pollinator. Layered tree is 12" to 3+ feet.
