Black Walnut Tree

Black Walnut Tree

Prized for Nuts and Timber

  (6 customer reviews)



Bears up to 30 bushels of nuts once established. Truly a gourmet favorite—black walnuts have a rich flavor prized for baking, plus twice the protein of English walnuts. Trees grow up to 75 ft. tall with dark green foliage, excellent for providing shade. Dark brown wood is strong with an attractive grain, providing valuable timber. Self-pollinating, but plant two or more for top crops. Zones 4-8.
Nut trees are not available in AZ, CA, TX.

This item ships only in the spring.
If our spring shipping season is closed, your order will be shipped the following spring.

Comments: Dark brown to grayish black bark. Develops an extensive taproot as it matures and is difficult to transplant. This is a seedling, it is not grafted. Great for baking. Self pollinating. Best planted in groups. Yields up to 30 bushels of nuts once established and they are great for baking. A high value is placed on this tree due to the demand for walnut veneer. Nuts are ready to harvest when you can dent the hull of several nuts. with your thumb. Remove hulls immediately after harvesting to prevent staining. After nuts have been dried store them in a mesh bag in a cool, dry place or freeze.

Leaves!
Reviewed By: Paul Shelton (Bonners Ferry, Idaho)
We ordered 10 of the Black Walnut trees. I have to admit that the root stock looked pretty tough when I opened the box, One of the plantings was broken in half. Root stock should be individually wrapped for protection. However all the trees have leaves and seem to be doing well.

Black Walnuts Zone4
Reviewed By: John (Buffalo, NY)
I live in Zone4 and have always had Black Walnut trees in my yard. They thrive here. They can be a bit messy and they produce a chemical called Juglone which will kill off all plants within the dripline. They are a beautiful, almost tropical looking tree.

The Black Walnut is a great health source in Walnuts. Bill Gillum, a Lumbee Tribe and Cherokee man of southeast Kentucky, was knowledgeable in Walnut Medicine and other alternative treatments from Native America. The Black Walnut has numerous internal and external health properties for man. We recommend it. May Bill Gullum rest in peace. June, 2008
