BUTTERNUT (Juglans cinerea) SOLD OUT
Native from Southern Canada to Mid South, butternut trees are becoming scarce in the wild. Grafted trees bear in 2 to 3 years, producing egg shaped nuts that hang in clusters of 3 to 7. Kernels are among the best flavored of all nuts with a characteristic buttery flavor. Trees reach 40-60' high and should be spaced 20-30' apart. Orchard trees assume a spreading habit and do best if well fertilized.
