What month to plant a walnut. Walnut: planting, growing, care and pruning. Don't forget to fertilize
Refers to durable plants. There are trees that are over 300 years old. The plant loves light and moisture, therefore it grows best in well-drained soils with moderate moisture, in which there is a small constant level ground water. The root system of the walnut is very powerful and penetrates deep into the soil.
Climate
There are many frost-resistant varieties walnut, so cultivation is carried out even in northern latitudes Russia, Siberia. Known cases successful cultivation in the Moscow region and even the Urals. One of the most popular varieties- "Ideal". As an alternative, walnut hybrids with gray walnut or Manchurian walnut can be considered.
Of course, in warm regions, the choice of varieties is much wider.
For growing walnuts in northern latitudes, see the following video.
Ways
Walnut trees can be propagated in several ways:
- Seeds.
- seedlings.
Selecting a landing site
When choosing a place to plant a nut, keep in mind that the tree will be sprawling and tall. It is important that in the future it does not interfere with buildings or other trees.
In general, planting a nut next to any building is undesirable, because this plant has a fairly strong root system. When it grows, it will damage the foundation.
Shrubs should be planted next to walnut seedlings. In the first years of growth, the tree will not interfere with their fruiting. And after 6-9 years, when the nut becomes quite large, the shrubs are easily removed.
seeds
Choice
Propagation by seeds is the main method of planting a nut. Germination of walnut seeds is one year. Selected for sowing large fruits, which have a tasty core and a thin shell.
You need to collect nuts that have just fallen from a tree, or even better - knock them down yourself. Only ripe and undamaged nuts are selected for seeds.
There should be no visible damage, stains or other defects on their shell. It is not recommended to plant store-bought nuts as their freshness is unknown.
cleaning
Nuts can not be peeled from the outer layer (pericarp), but peeled fruits germinate much faster. Peel the nuts carefully so that only the outer shell separates and the inner shell remains intact.
Peeled nuts should be lowered into a bucket filled with water. For planting, select sunken fruits, as they have a solid core, so the probability of producing good sprouts in such nuts is higher.
Drying
After cleaning from the outer green shell, the fruits are laid out in one layer to dry in the sun, and then (after 1-2 days) they are removed to dry in the shade. Dry the fruits that will be used for planting in the future, near heating devices Not recommended. If you are going to plant walnut fruits in the fall, you can not dry them at all, but immediately sow them in the chosen place. Such seeds will sprout in next year in May.
Landing
autumn
In a walnut seedling, a central tap root is formed, which grows to a great depth. And therefore, the fruits should be sown immediately in a permanent place, since a transplant can injure this root.
The depth and diameter of the pits for walnut seeds should be up to one meter. This depth is required to provide the future tree with a supply of nutrients. Seeds are planted in pits to a depth of 15-20 centimeters. The soil selected from the pits is mixed with humus and returned back.
Nuts are laid on the bottom with a seam up, and not with a point, otherwise the tree will begin to bear fruit later.
Three or four fruits are placed in each hole, placing them from each other at a distance of 20-25 centimeters (fruits are planted in a triangle or square). The pit is filled up with the formation of a mound in the middle, and then the soil is compacted. Among the seedlings that have grown, choose the strongest. Seedlings grown from seeds should be properly cut. It is necessary to water young walnut trees from May to July twice a month with the expectation of four buckets of water per 1 m2. Watering is postponed in rainy weather, and stops in August.
spring
Seeds that will be planted in May should be stored in a cool place, and about 3-4 months before planting, they are stratified. It provides for laying nuts at +4 + 7 degrees in wet sand. Before laying nuts in the sand, they can be held for a short time in a glass dish filled with water (water temperature is room temperature).
AT open ground seeds are sown in May. Planting depth is within 7-9 centimeters. The first shoots appear in about ten days. By autumn, their height is approximately 10-15 centimeters. First, shoots grow upward, and then their trunks begin to thicken. If you water them abundantly in summer, then the plants can grow higher, but in this case they winter worse.
How to germinate a walnut at home
You can grow walnut seedlings at home in 500 ml plastic cups. The bottom of the glasses is pierced to excess moisture was displayed. The containers are filled with garden soil, and the nuts are laid to a depth of 5 centimeters. Having covered them with earth from above, watering is carried out and the glasses are sent to the balcony or to the basement. By the beginning of February, they are transferred to the house, watered abundantly and put on the windowsill.
Shoots in such glasses appear 2-3 weeks after returning to the house. When the plants reach a height of 10 cm (usually after a month), they are transplanted into larger containers, for example, cut into 1.5-2-liter bottles. After sending these containers back to the windowsill, the plants are watered in a timely manner, as they require moderately moist soil.
In April, when the daytime temperature rises to +15 degrees, the plants can be transferred to a glazed balcony for hardening before planting in the soil at the end of May. At this time, there is no longer a risk of frost, and the seedlings reach a height of 20-25 centimeters. At the same time, we note that nuts planted in the ground in autumn only begin to germinate in May, and reach a height of 10-20 centimeters only by autumn.
Reproduction by seedlings
With such cultivation permanent place seedlings are transplanted at 2 years of age in the spring. When digging, you need to be as careful as possible, trying not to damage the roots on the sides. The central root, which by this age will already grow to a depth more than a meter, cut off with a pruner or knife at a depth of forty centimeters. The remaining wound is covered with clay.
Seedlings are laid in compacted soil to such a depth that the root collars rise three to four centimeters above the soil level. The roots of the seedlings need to be well straightened to give them their former position (before digging). There is an opinion that a brick or flat stone should be installed under the center of the seedling root so that the roots of the future nut are powerful, but it is erroneous. Having installed the seedlings, the pits are covered with soil, after which the soil is compacted, watered and mulched, and excess branches are removed from the tree.
Graft
Growing a walnut, you always want to get a tree whose fruit performance will be good. However, most often, when propagated by seeds, seedlings do not retain the properties inherent in the mother variety, so new plants are usually grafted. Procurement of cuttings for grafting is carried out from young walnuts that are already bearing fruit. Since grafting is a very time-consuming task that requires certain knowledge, it is sometimes easier to purchase an already grafted seedling. The fruiting of a grafted tree begins at the age of 8-10 years, but if the crown is formed correctly and the care of the plant is good, then the first fruits appear already at the age of 4-5 years.
The walnut tree belongs to the walnut family. In another way, this species is called Greek or royal. Walnut in wild nature found its permanent home in western Transcaucasia, northern India, the Tien Shan, northern China, Greece, northern India, Asia Minor and even Norway. Although the most luxurious natural hazel trees can be found in the south of Kyrgyzstan.
general information
The original origin of the walnut and Iran is considered his birthplace. But opinions differ on this point. He is also credited with Indian, Chinese and even Japanese beginnings.
Historical sources indicate that this culture from Greece came to Rome, and then spread to Germany, Bulgaria, Switzerland and France. And even in Ukraine, this tree came from Romania and Moldova, but already under the name "Voloshsky".
The walnut is a large tree reaching 25 m in height. Its powerful trunk can reach up to 7 meters in girth. Complex pinnate leaves up to 7 cm, evenly spaced on the branches, form an extensive crown. On one tree, both female and male flowers which are wind pollinated in May.
The spherical bone fruit of the walnut is located inside the leathery pericarp at the time of ripening. The nut internal component is divided by incomplete partitions, to which the edible kernel adjoins. The weight of one fruit can reach 17 g.
Planting and soil requirements
Walnut seedlings are usually planted in the spring, although southern regions also in autumn. This tree is not particularly picky about soil, but clay soil it is better to enrich with compost or peat. Walnut is very photophilous, so for its landing you need to choose sunny places otherwise the seedling may die. And also the nut does not like places with high level humidity. The optimum soil pH is pH 5.5 to 5.8.
Before planting a walnut, it is necessary to carefully examine the seedlings. Sick, dried and rotten roots and shoots must be removed, and then the roots should be lowered into a clay mixture with the following contents:
- Water.
- ¼ decomposed manure.
- ¾ clay.
- You can add growth stimulants to this consistency - Epin or Humat.
Planting a walnut is an important matter that requires the selection of the optimal time. At first glance, it seems that the nut, like the others fruit trees can be planted throughout the autumn and spring period, but this is not at all the case. Since the walnut has a unique root system, on which symbiotic fungi live, which provide the tree with all the necessary mineral and organic matter, then you need to choose the appropriate landing time. If you live in northern regions, where autumn is quite cold and very Cold winter, then planting a nut in the fall is generally impossible. This is due to the fact that even with small negative temperatures symbiotic mushrooms and the root system itself on the transplanted tree may die. In spring, it is also necessary to take into account the temperature of the soil and environment. Despite this, gardeners need to know when to plant a walnut.
Walnut planting dates
The main criteria for choosing the timing of planting a walnut include:
- It is better to plant a walnut in the spring, although you can do it in the fall, only in warm regions.
- The root system of the walnut is very sensitive to low temperatures, so it is very important to choose a time for planting when the soil warms up well and the average daily temperature is more than 10 degrees Celsius.
- It is desirable to plant a nut in cloudy weather, and even better before or after rain. Thus, the nut will be better accepted and will grow faster, because rainy weather promotes good learning young tree in a new place. In addition, the transplanted nut will not need to be watered abundantly.
- Walnut is better accepted if it is planted in the afternoon, this is due to the fact that the intensity of biological processes in wood slows down after lunch.
- Depending on the region, the walnut is planted from mid-April to mid-May. In earlier or more late dates It is advisable not to transplant this tree to a permanent place.
- For transplanting a walnut to a permanent place, the phase of the moon is important. The nut develops better and takes root well if it is transplanted during the waning moon phase. This is explained by the fact that during this phase, the underground parts of plants mainly grow, and during the phase of the growing moon, the above-ground parts of plants grow better.
Choosing the right time to plant a walnut in a permanent place is an important task, since the speed and intensity of tree growth depends on it. In principle, whether the tree survives at all depends on the time of planting. Therefore, it is necessary to approach this issue with full responsibility so as not to destroy the seedlings of nuts. Early or late boarding directly affect the ability of the nut to take root in a new place and its ability to successfully overwinter.
A powerful spreading tree, reaching a height of 25 meters, with useful and delicious fruits that ripen every fall is the walnut. Proper cultivation cultivars of walnut helps not only to get an annual bountiful harvest, but also to increase the nutritional value of the fruit. This article will talk about proper fit, competent care and methods of reproduction of walnuts in the Moscow region.
Walnut: cultivars and varieties
On the territory of Russia, the walnut, brought by merchants from Greece, has been cultivated for more than 1000 years. The culture is highly valued for its healthy and tasty nuts, valuable wood and leaves, which are used to make medicinal potions.
The walnut is usually cultivated in the southern regions, in middle lane Russian culture often freezes out in cold winters, sometimes the plant does not even reach the age of fruiting.
Walnut is one of the most popular types of nuts in our country.
Breeders are working purposefully to create varieties of walnuts that are ideal for cold winters, suitable for successful cultivation in the middle lane and the Moscow region.
- "Sadko" - dwarf variety which tolerates well frosty winters without frostbite of the trunk and crown. The variety grows steadily, bears fruit abundantly, producing thin-skinned and large nuts. The tree enters the fruiting phase in the 3rd year, the height is from 4 to 5 meters.
Variety "Sadko"
- "Ideal" - the popularity of this variety among gardeners is very high, due to the high resistance of the tree to frost and early fruiting - the nut withstands winter temperature up to - 35 degrees, and begins to bear fruit from the 2nd year of life. For normal development, a tree needs space and sunlight. It is not recommended to plant the "Ideal" variety near existing buildings - a powerful root system can damage the foundation of the building. In height, the "Ideal" walnut reaches up to 5 meters. Fruits 2 times a year.
Variety "Ideal"
- "Podmoskovye" - the variety is frost-resistant and early harvest large nuts.
Sort "Podmoskovye"
- "Giant" - the variety is similar to "Ideal", but begins to bear fruit at 5-6 years of age. From one tree you can collect up to one centner of nuts.
Variety "Giant"
- "Productive" - a winter-hardy tree, resistant to diseases, reaches a height of 6 m. It enters the fruiting phase in the 4th year. bountiful harvest can be filmed in the second half of September. Average yield nuts from one tree about 25 kg.
- More recently, breeders have bred new variety walnut - "Astakhovsky", characterized by high winter hardiness, resistance to pests and diseases. The crown of the tree is perfectly restored after freezing, the plant is able to endure winter temperatures down to -37 degrees. The fruits of the new variety are larger than those of the "Ideal" variety. Fruiting occurs in the 6th year.
Proper planting of walnuts is the key to a bountiful harvest
walnut is different overall dimensions crowns, so for planting a tree, you should choose a spacious, open place on sunny side. Maximum solar lighting directly affects the formation and quality of the crop.
The root system of the tree is quite powerful, lies deep in the soil, so it is important to choose a site for planting without closely lying groundwater. The plant does not develop well in low, swampy areas.
The walnut is a fairly large tree, so give it plenty of space.
An adult walnut tree is able to grow a crown with a diameter of more than 10 m, therefore, when planting several trees side by side, sufficient distances between seedlings should be immediately provided (at least 5 meters).
When planting seedlings, the depth of the planting pit should be provided for at least 80 cm, the width of the pit along the top - from 40 cm. Organic and mineral fertilizers(rotted manure, sand, ash, double superphosphate).
Advice! To accelerate the development of lateral roots in a walnut seedling, a layer of PVC film can be laid on the bottom of the planting hole.
walnut care
Walnut is a moisture-loving crop, the tree requires irrigation of the crown in extreme heat, regular watering and maintaining moisture in the soil. To reduce the evaporation of water from the soil, it is useful to mulch the soil in trunk circle peat or sawdust.
To increase the aeration of the roots, loosening the soil is required several times a season. Simultaneously with loosening, overgrown weeds can be removed.
Watering, loosening the soil - basic walnut care
In autumn, the soil under the tree needs to be dug up to the depth of one bayonet of a shovel.
Pruning a walnut in the first years of life helps to form a strong tree crown, in which up to 7 main branches are left. At an older age, the nut needs sanitary pruning and removal of damaged shoots. It is necessary to cut out the branches of the nut that grow deep into the crown.
Old trees are subjected to rejuvenating pruning every summer, then until autumn the wounds heal on the nut and winter cold cannot harm the plant.
Walnut nutrition - how to choose the right fertilizer
Walnut responds very quickly to top dressing nutrients- the tree is dressed with elegant foliage (you can admire the photo), the fruits are different the best taste and sizes. For the harmonious development of the plant, fertilizers should be applied in accordance with the scheme:
- Spring - nitrogen fertilizers are used to feed walnut trees.
- Autumn - plants are fed mineral compositions by applying phosphorus and potash fertilizers.
You can feed a walnut twice a season
Nut propagation
There are usually two ways to propagate walnuts:
- Sowing seeds.
- Budding.
When sowing crops seeds, you should first select large, intact, full-weight nuts of the variety you like.
Advice! Harvesting nuts for sowing is carried out at a time when the outer green shell bursts.
The collected fruits must be dried and pre-stratified. Temperature regime when stratifying thin-skinned and thick-skinned varieties, it has differences:
- Thin-barked varieties are stratified for 45 days at t +18 C.
- Thick-skinned nuts - 100 days at t about +7 C.
Planting a nut from seed
It is allowed to plant walnut seeds in the ground in early April, in well-heated soil, which is previously dug up, loosened and spilled with water.
Advice! It is allowed to add wood ash to the bottom of the furrow for planting nuts.
Planting depth of large nuts is 10 cm, small ones - 7 cm. Seeds of nuts can be planted in autumn. When planting in the fall, stronger seedlings are formed.
Advice! To get a perfectly straight trunk from a seedling, it is necessary to lay the nuts in the furrow sideways, on the edge.
Reproduction of a walnut vaccination more troublesome way. It justifies itself when propagating especially valuable varieties. The stock for grafting is specially grown two-year-old seedlings, which are planted in separate pots. In early February, you can start vaccinating. For positive result it is necessary to have special skills and have some experience in performing budding.

Diseases and pests of walnut
The walnut tree is damaged by many pests and diseases. Especially often black spots appear on the leaves, which cause fungal diseases"brown spotting" and "bacteriosis". Settling on green branches and leaves of walnut shoots, the fungus infects living tissues, causing their necrosis. The leaves of the plant die off and fall off along with the ovaries. If not carried out preventive treatment against a fungal infection, the plant may die.
Seriously harms white walnut plantings american butterfly, which is activated twice per season - at the beginning of summer and autumn.
Spotting on walnut leaves
The apple codling moth eats away the pulp of young nuts, destroying the future crop.
The mining moth in the caterpillar stage, settling inside the leaf, gnaws through passages in soft tissues leaf blade, and the adult moth sucks the juices from mature leaves, folding them into a cocoon.
Help get rid of pests timely processing trees with systemic preparations.

Walnut in the Moscow region: photo
Few people know that in the country it is not necessary to purchase a seedling - it is enough to plant the fruit of the tree correctly. Read about how to do this in our material.
Selection of planting material
Whether the process of growing a tree from a fruit will be successful will depend on the selection of quality planting material.
First of all, you should know that fruit must be fresh harvest
who did not succumb neither nor heat treatment. In old nuts, germination is reduced significantly. Thus, it is necessary to purchase fruits for planting or look for them from familiar summer residents and gardeners starting in September. Store-bought nuts should not be trusted, as it is not known whether they have been processed and how fresh they are. The best option there will, of course, be nuts collected with your own hands. 
The fruit must be fully ripe, and its shell - without any spots, damage. It must be thin. Larger specimens should be selected. Before selection, it is advisable to try the nuts and choose the most delicious ones.
Preliminary preparation
Before planting, nuts will need to be prepared - by exposure to cold, water and sunlight . If you plan to plant a plant in the spring, then you need to produce. For its implementation, nut fruits are placed in a container with moistened sand, which is placed in a place with a temperature of 0 to + 5 ° C, for example, in a refrigerator or cellar. Stratification lasts from three to four months. Every three to four weeks, the nuts will need to be removed and ventilated, and the sand moistened. After stratification, planting material can be placed in the ground.
There is another way of spring planting - place the nuts for a month at a temperature below + 10 ° C, and then soak for 2–5 days (at room temperature). They should be placed in a container of water to see which are suitable for planting and which have a good chance of germinating. It is necessary to select those specimens that have sunk to the bottom, it is worth getting rid of those floating on the surface. From the water you need to immediately remove the fruits, in which the shell flaps have moved apart and the root has appeared.
Did you know? The famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci "Lady with an Ermine" is painted in oil on a walnut tablet measuring 54.8 by 40.3 cm.
In order for the root to grow and get stronger, the fruits are lowered into containers with wet or sand, which are placed in a room with a temperature of + 25-28 ° C. In 5–10 days, the roots will grow to 0.5–1 cm. After that, the containers should be removed to a cool place before planting. 
You can grow both peeled and unpeeled fruits, but the former germinate better and faster.
To clean them, you should very carefully remove the upper shell and do not touch the inner one. It is advisable to carry out the procedure with gloves, since the green outer layer leaves marks on the skin that are difficult to wash off.
Important!If the inner shell is injured, then the nut may not germinate or the future sprout will get sick.
At spring planting, in April, the selected nuts will need to be dried. They are laid out on horizontal surface in one layer and exposed to the sun for a couple of days. After that, they are sent for 2-3 days to dry in a shaded place. Drying with special devices prohibited.
When planting in autumn, stratification, germination and drying of planting material are not needed.
Video: stratification of nuts
Site selection
A mature walnut tree reaches high altitude- up to 25 m, and widely spreads the crown. The trunk grows up to 3-7 m in diameter, besides, it develops a powerful root system. Therefore, for a tree, you need to choose large plot, away from other plants so that the nut does not cover them with its shadow. The same applies to buildings - the roots can simply harm the foundation. Distance between two walnut trees must be at least five meters.
You can plant at the same time as a nut - until the tree reaches a size that will interfere with their growth and development, they can successfully give you six to nine harvests of berries.
It is also important that in the area where the plant is planned to be planted, there is no close occurrence of groundwater. 
Better development and fruiting can be expected from trees planted in moist carbonate loams, chernozems in well-lit areas. Nuts prefer neutral and slightly alkaline. The soil before planting will need to be pre-prepared by fertilizing and moistening.
Did you know? In China, a record has been set for the fastest breaking of walnut shells with your hands. A resident of this country, Li Weijun, managed 302 fruits in 55 seconds.
Planting seeds in open ground
So, as you already understood, a nut can be planted in autumn - in September-October, and in spring - in mid-April. You should prepare a planting hole 60-80 cm deep and fertilize the soil in it (one bucket), (one glass) and (two glasses). It is better to do this in advance, somewhere a month or two before landing.
The fruits must be planted in holes 30 by 30 cm. Three or four nuts are placed in each hole. They are placed with a vertical seam up. If you do not follow this recommendation, then the plant may begin fruiting three years later.
The planting pattern should be in the form of a triangle or a square with sides of 20–25 cm. If several plants sprout, then the strongest will need to be selected from them. 
After placing the fruits in the hole, they are covered with soil. During autumn planting, watering is not needed, however, the ground will need to be covered with a 10- or 20-cm layer of mulch from, dry foliage, grass, spruce branches or sawdust: it is necessary to retain moisture and protect young sprouts from exposure to sunlight.
When planting in spring, seedlings appear after 10 days. In autumn, the height of the stem of seedlings already reaches 10-15 cm.
When landing in autumn period seedlings should be expected in May next year. There are times when nuts sprout after a year.

Further care
AT further care will consist in irrigation in summer time, loosening the soil, young trees and pruning adults.
How to germinate a walnut in a pot
Prepared fruits can be immediately sent to a permanent place or first placed for germination in pots, and then planted mature and strong seedlings. When choosing the latter method, you can achieve better germination and successful wintering. young plant. For its implementation, it is necessary to take care of the purchase of containers and the preparation of the substrate. 
soil mixture
Fertile soil for germination can be purchased at a specialized store, as well as prepared independently. For this, they take one part of sod land, peat and humus.
Capacity
Capacity is better to choose the volume and depth 25–30 cm. Its size should be sufficient for the development of the root system. The second container, for small sprouts, should be twice as large and deeper.
Landing
Fruits are planted in the middle or near the end April. First, a third of the pot is filled with drainage, on which the soil mixture is placed.
The fruit is placed in a hole 7-8 cm deep end part down and sprinkle with substrate. After that, it is moistened and kept at a temperature of + 25–28 ° C and abundant light for 5 to 10 days. You can cover the container with glass to create the effect of a mini-greenhouse. In this case, periodic ventilation will be required.
The first sprouts should be expected after one to two weeks. 
Also, the fruits can be planted in pots in the fall. After planting, they are sent to a cool place, such as a balcony or cellar, until February. Then they need to be put in a warm room and moistened regularly. Shoots should appear after 10 days. After that, they are transferred to a large container, which is placed on the windowsill and continues to be moistened regularly.
Seedling care
Young seedlings will need good lighting, in the shade they will develop poorly. It is important to carefully monitor earthen clod did not dry up. Seedlings need to be moistened regularly and abundantly, but moisture stagnation should not be allowed, as it is fraught with the development of rot.
When it gets warmer, the plant should be hardened - every day it should be taken outside for several hours, gradually increasing the duration of ventilation. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the tree does not fall under drafts.
When it's hot outside, the roots will need to be protected from overheating. When taken out of the room, they should be covered damp cloth or put in a bucket of cool water.
For plant nutrition, use complex fertilizers with high potassium content. It is recommended to fertilize seedlings twice a month during the active period of their growth and development. 
If the nut is planned to continue to be grown in a container, then before reaching the age of four, it will need to be transplanted annually into larger pot or a tub, each time cutting off a third of the root system. After the tree reaches four years of age, it is transplanted once every five years, and fertile soil is added to the trunk every year.
Such a nut can form any crown by spring pruning. The first pruning is done at two years. The crown lends itself to shaping up to four years. In the future, only sanitary pruning of old and weak shoots will be required. It is produced in spring and autumn.
Transfer to a permanent place
If it is planned to plant seedlings from a pot in open ground, then the recommended period for it is after one year after planting, that is, in April-May. At this time, the stems should reach a height of over 20 cm.
landing pit prepare a depth of about 1 m, fertilize it with manure with superphosphate and wood ash. The plant is carefully removed from the pot without damaging the root system. The tap root is cut by a third: this will give an incentive for the development of lateral roots. The seedling is placed in the soil so that the root neck is 3–4 cm higher than it. The planting hole with the tree is covered with soil, compacted and moistened abundantly. To protect the trunk of a young plant from breakage, it is tied to a peg driven in next to it.
Further care will be required the same as for seedlings immediately planted in open ground. We have described its features in one of the sections above.

When will they start to bear fruit
Some gardeners and summer residents are in no hurry to plant nuts for one reason - it will not be possible to enjoy the fruits soon. If the tree was planted in accordance with the recommendations and followed quality care, the earliest fruiting can occur after seven years. Usually the first fruits appear in 10-15 years.
The fruits begin to be harvested as soon as cracks appear on the green peel.
So the walnut is pretty famous tree, which can be found on most summer cottages. Its popularity is due to its ease of planting and care, tasty and beneficial fruits. It is easy to grow a nut from a fruit. Landing seed way even a novice gardener can do it. If you use the recommendations for proper planting, then after 10-15 years you will be able to feast on nuts from a tree planted and grown with your own hands.
