- Highlights
- Variety Specifications
- Planting & Care
- Enjoy an early harvest of delicious walnuts, as the compact 'Broadview' produces nuts sooner than other varieties.
- A single tree is all you need for a good crop, as this variety is self-fertile. Expect your first nuts in just 3-4 years.
- Features attractive, bright green pinnate leaves and, in spring, green catkins that provide an early food source for pollinators.
- Harvest the nuts green for pickling in summer, or let them mature on the tree for drying and storing in autumn.
- A manageable size for most gardens, reaching 6 x 5 metres, but can be kept smaller with pruning.
- Professionally pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy, and well-shaped tree.
- Species: Walnut
- Features: Heritage, Self fertile, Wildlife benefactor
- Flowering Time: April, May, June, July, August
- Harvest Time: September, October, November
- Flower Colour: Green catkins
- Eventual Spread: Will spread up to 8m unless pruned
- Habit: Grows with an upright bushy habit and a broad crown
- Hardiness: This tree is fully hardy, meaning it will survive under any conditions, including the odd snowy winter in the UK.
- Pest & Disease Resistance: Walnut trees are not prone to many pests or diseases, although they may occasionally be affected by coral spot, aphids or walnut blister mites. If you see aphids or other bugs, pick them off by hand and spray the infected area with some soapy water. To avoid coral spot, always prune in dry weather.
- Uses: Eating fresh, cooking
- Planting Time: March, April, May, October, November
- Position: Thrives in a sheltered location in full sun for optimal nut production.
- Soil: Prefers fertile well draining soil. Can also tolerate clay soil but you will need to take some steps to improve drainage, such as mixing in fine horticultural grit or perlite to the surrounding soil when planting.
- Feeding: Your tree will get all the nutrients it needs from the soil (make sure it's good by mixing in some compost or rootgrow when planting).
- Watering: Water establishing plants during dry spells for at least a year after planting.
- Pruning: Native walnut trees do not require a lot of pruning. Simply remove any dead, diseased or awkwardly placed branches from your walnut tree as and when you see them.
Product Specifications
- Height on Arrival: 90-110cm
