Additional Tree Information
Black Walnuts can grow to be as big as 100 feet. Foliage consists of compound leaves 12 to 24 inches long and leaflets 2 to 5 inches long. They grow best in deep, rich, moist soil. Large, rich, flavorful nuts are not the only aspect of value for this tree. It is one of the most highly valued of North American hardwoods for cabinets and furniture. Space 30 feet apart for best nut production. For timber use, space 8 feet apart for fastest, straightest growth. Black Walnuts should start producing nuts in 8 to 10 years and you should plant at least two for pollination.
