 them back for firewood results in branch- 

 ing at the base, giving them a bushy ap- 

 pearance and partially accounting for the 

 small size of the trees. Nuts are small, 

 ranging from three-eighths to seven-eighths 

 of an inch in width and from five-eighths 

 to eleven-sixteenths of an inch in length.
