We have a massive walnut tree in our garden (at least 40 foot). If I could keep the squirels and rooks at bay we'd have hundreds of walnuts every year. As it is we're lucky to get a decent sized bag full.

It is taller than it is wide. Every couple of years we have it pruned in order to reduce the canopy and let light into the centre of the canopy. It being so tall (40 foot is a conservative estimate) and our pruning regime ensures it does not create much of a shade problem.
The only problem it causes is that there is a tree preservation order on it. That means I have to get planning permission to prune it and that I can only use council aproved arboriculturists. £500 - £600 every two or three years. It is well worth it though, it is a magnificent tree.It is the doom of man, that they forget.

Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

You remember correctly, Oh Ancient One! You pickle them when they are green. I understand the received wisdom is you prick them with a silver fork first? Never done it though.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
