Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) - NB Source

The black walnut (Juglans nigra) is native to eastern and central North America, though it has been widely planted outside of its range across the world in the last three centuries.  This fast growing species is highly valued for both the nutritious edible nut that it produces, but also the lumber that is prized by furniture and cabinetmakers for its attractive color and exceptional durability. When planted in a forest setting in competition with other trees, black walnuts will grow straight and tall.  When planted in the open, it will grow in a more rounded form, with large lower branches that make it easier to harvest the nuts from.  This species needs lots of sunlight to thrive. They prefer growing in deep soil that is moist but well drained.

These seedlings are grown in our air pruning beds where they develop beautiful fibrous root systems.

Note that we sometimes trim taller trees down to their described height in order to not have to pass additional shipping costs on to our customers. In our experience this has almost no effect on their growth even in the first year of growth after planting. The ample roots make sure of it!
