- Planting & Care
- Specially selected for UK gardens, the 'Broadview' is a compact walnut tree that produces nuts much earlier than other varieties.
- It's self-fertile, meaning you only need one tree to get a generous crop of delicious walnuts, usually from the third or fourth year.
- Enjoy the versatility of your harvest: pick the nuts green for pickling or allow them to mature into autumn for drying and storing.
- Attractive as well as productive, the tree features bright green pinnate leaves and produces green catkins in spring, providing an early food source for pollinators.
- While it can reach 6 x 5 metres, it responds well to pruning if you need to maintain a smaller size for your garden.
- Your tree is professionally pruned before dispatch to encourage a strong, bushy shape and robust growth.

- Habit: Grows with an upright bushy habit and a broad crown
- 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.

- Watering: Water establishing plants during dry spells for at least a year after 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). No extra feeding required.
- 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. Prune lightly and always in dry weather.
