Japanese Walnut

These are our Nova Scotia sourced Japanese Walnuts (Juglans ailantifolia).  They are the same species as heartnuts but are lacking the heart shaped shell on the nut.  We are growing them on our property both for the nuts and to add some diversity to the pollen sources.

Japanese walnuts are known for their adaptability and resilience, thriving in various soil types and climates. This makes them an excellent choice for both experienced gardeners and those new to cultivating trees.  They are resistant to butternut canker which is affecting butternut trees across their native range in North America. 

They should be planted in a full sun location and given lots of room to grow, as they do not like competition and can grow very large quicker than most other species.

Note that we sometimes trim taller trees down to their described height in order to not have to pass additional shipping costs on to our customers. In our experience this has almost no effect on their growth even in the first year of growth after planting. The ample roots make sure of it!
