Walnut varieties and cultivation

If we consider the varieties of walnuts, then for sure among them you will find exactly those that are ideal for the climatic conditions of your region. Indeed, the quality and quantity of the harvested crop largely depends on this.

Do you still doubt whether it is worth planting this tree in the country or on your own plot? In this case, study the beneficial properties of the walnut, and it will become finally clear to you that it is imperative to grow it. Nuts contain antioxidants, plant proteins and even vitamin C.

Walnut cultivation begins with the fact that you need to learn its characteristics. First of all, you need ripe nuts of the new harvest. Place them in loose, pre-enriched soil. If the winters in your climatic zone are severe and cold enough, the future plant should be covered with dry branches so that it does not freeze.

The first shoots should already appear in the spring. By the way, if there was little rainfall in the spring, the soil should be watered periodically so that the plant receives a sufficient amount of moisture necessary for growth.

Before growing a walnut, be prepared to fail. Unfortunately, not all nuts sprout the first time. Perhaps the reason for this is too harsh winter or lack of essential nutrients.

In any case, do not stop there. Some gardeners recommend sprouting nuts not outdoors, but in a pot. This way you can be sure that the tree will be able to overwinter.

In general, the nut is a very capricious tree, and not only does it not start growing from the first time, it can still stop growing altogether and not bear fruit ...

For me, the walnut is a very grateful and promising tree. I planted a plot of 20 acres with young nuts. All the seedlings are from their old tree, the fruits there are very large and soft shells, however, before planting, I soaked the nuts in water for two days.
The only drawback is the long growth period before fruiting, but then everything will pay off. And for children and grandchildren, a walnut garden will grow
