Black Walnut Tree
Black Walnut Tree
Prized for Nuts and Timber

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.

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.

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

Awesome
Reviewed By: Jonathan Mullen (Yorktown, NY)
I recieved my plant right away. I planted it in a pot (Waiting for larger roots to form). I find that nut trees thrive with a nutrient rich formula and I created a soil medium with Soil, Potting Soil, perlite(large and small), vermiculite (large and small), and plenty of worm casting. I am starting to see buds already and I only watered it once. Date ordered: 2/15/09 Date Recieved: 3/19/09 Buds start to form: 3/24/09 I even plan on buying more of these so that I can sell them for lumber, my last tree I sold for $13,000.00
