If you have any way to do it at all I would recommend growing them from seed if you want to plant more than a few. 7$ per pound for nuts ( 18-25 per pound for extra large) or 25$ per tree. At the speed that they grow you won't lose much time that way either. Its not for everyone but with just a little research and time it seems to be going well so far. They've actually started sprouting ahead of schedule and I'm hoping to have a few hundred to plant by fall for the price of 6 trees and some time.
