3 years or so dunstan will produce I planted some to hope they cross with my native American survivors. I get nuts from both and have a lot of volunteer trees growing I hope have resistance.  Try some american filbert( hazelnut) if you want fast dependable producers. Sunny spots edge of fields .. spread easy and can be split and transplanted
