Black Walnut (Potted)

*Use the dropdown menu above to see bulk pack and other pot size options*

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.

These seedlings spend their first year in our air pruning beds where they develop beautiful fibrous root systems.
