If you want to confirm the id the leaves should have a fairly strong smell when rubbed. Sort of pine/citrus scent.

Just seen your post - been offline for about a week. Yes, the leaves do have that scent you describe. Good tip, many thanks

Slightly OT but if you are planning on keeping it, I would be looking very seriously at that low angle fork which is effectively creating twin leaders and removing one of them.

 

Midsummer is the right time to prune walnuts so I would be doing it about now (I have some formative pruning to do on my own).

Thanks for that - I'll take your advice and remove one of the main branches at the fork. Cheers - Jim
