Can walnuts grow in the UK? In winter the temp falls to around -5 degrees Celsius. We sometimes get snow. In the summer the max temp rises to around 27 degrees Celsius, maybe 30. Do you have nurseries in the UK or can you ship plants over?
@telemarker77 all-in-one is not a commercial variety, so no, it is not leftovers. You paid that much for that size because that's the size your nursery of choice ordered, and that's the price they set. Independence is a newly released commercial variety, may or may not be released for home owners.
Hello Dave! This is a great video. I have the same nursery school than you have, but we use a different procedures than you, because the climate condition and the different type of disease. Last year I visited some growers and one nursery in California. It was a great opportunity to see the differences and the similarities
Hi, Dave,i live Lithuania.I heard about Hulda Clark. She recommended to use the black walnut for helminth prevention. who can help to get the green black walnut fruits ? thanks Limantas
Hi Dave we have 40 acres next to the san Joaquin river in stanislaus county that has thick clay type soil but has been know to flood approximately every 10 years or so. Would you recommend a black walnut or something flood resistant that can handle flooding up to 2 months?
I'm curious if they could survive in Saskatchewan Canada. Our winters are pretty rough but we have decent soil for a wide range of crops. Mind you below the soil at our farm is heavy clay.
From what I understand, English walnuts can grow from hardiness zone 5-9. So it depends, but I think Sask only has hardiness zone 2 to 4 (so you probably can't). However, things could change with global warming! You can get black walnut rootstocks (zone 3-5) and be ready once your hardiness zone change!
I've got two full grown walnut trees and three little ones. The one next to my house sounds like rocks hitting the roof whenever the seed falls off from the tree.
Will English grafted local Black Walnuts in southern Alabama produce walnuts? I have never seen one around here but I know you can purchase them locally (don't know where it actually comes from).
Taylor T English walnut nut kernels can definitely be purchased in Alabama. But, growing them there might be another story. Too wet and humid. Bacterial diseases would probably overcome them in time.
We don't recommend Walnut as a landscape tree. They have an alkaline oil secretion that does not allow other plants to do well in their general area. Also consider that you can go to Trader Joes seven days a week and buy fresh, good quality walnuts for $7 per pound. You don't have to harvest, hull, shell or store them. Use your valuable backyard space to grow something that you can't find in the store like good Citrus, Peach, Plum, Apricot or nectarine.
Does the grafted aspect of these trees affect the value of the lumber when the tree is fully mature? Or are they not meant as lumber trees and more for nut production?
what would happen to my production if I didn't water/irrigate my trees at all? I live in a temperate climate Black Sea area with moderate temperatures and an annual rainfall of 470mm. I understand the required water is 600mm. would I lose some production and if so, how much in % terms?
should have explained. I am in the preparation phase. as I'm looking to create an orchard in my area but I have to choose between expensive land with water access/wells and cheaper land with no water supply. so it's a balance I'm trying to navigate. the soil is heavy sandy clay.
Hi Dave, thank you for the video! I live in Los Angeles and wondering if I could grow a walnut tree here? And, if so, which type? I am relandscaping my back and front yards so have opportunity to plant directly in ground or in a raised bed section of the yard. I also have areas in the front that get sun all day. And the back is half day sun. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Just offering my opinion, I would not grow black walnut trees. I have a couple in my backyard and detest them. They are messy. We have squirrels/chipmunks that have eaten holes right into our garage to store their walnuts for winter. The rodents shell them and leave that messy green carcass with the dark black innards, which can stain your shoes and clothes. They also give off some kind of chemical (juglone?) which other plants don’t like. Then, you’ll be stuck with more walnuts than you know what to do with. You’ll have to harvest them (aka pick them up off the ground) and figure out what to do with the husks, etc. Oh, and they grow really fast! Before you know it, you’ll have a 30’ tree.
hi bob, can you or someone else tell me if i can plat the nuts when they are green or do i have to wait until they are black?. the lady next door told me i can have all the nuts i want from her huge black walnut tree. thanks . i am in n.h.
can you help me to grow walnut tree in Pakistan especially along the indus valley where most of the times temperature reached 45c is it possible to grow walnut tree in 45c temperature
dr. muhammad Azhar Mughal i guess in your country maybe some sellers available if not you can germinate you own walnut tree from seed i have my self done that here in India (Himachal Pradesh )
I would love to plant a few walnut trees, but I'm thinking it might be a bad idea as I live in Bangladesh where it pours out Monsoon rain and is very tropical? Would it work, does anyone know?
Sorry, we can't ship trees outside of the USA. You might find a mail-order nursery that can. www.davewilson.com/home-gardens/where-to-buy/retail-nurseries-mail-order
