BLACK WALNUT (Juglans nigra)
Prized as the most valuable timber species in the Eastern U.S., black walnuts also produce fine-flavored nut kernels, high in polyunsaturated oils. All of our varieties have been selected for easy cracking and anthracnose resistance. These grafted varieties yield 3 or 4 times as much available kernel as do average wild trees which yield about 10% kernel. Trees reach 60-70' high with a rounded crown and trees planted at 25' spacing should eventually be thinned to 50' apart. Grafted trees bear in 4-6 yrs.
