Overview
Black walnut gives you shade, rich flavored nuts and some of the most valuable hardwood in North America, if you give it deep soil and moisture.
Origin & History
Native from the eastern plains to the Atlantic. This stock is grown from northern seed, which is what makes it winter hardy here.
Fruit & Uses
Hard shelled nuts in fall, usually starting 8 to 12 years from planting. Roots give off juglone, which stunts tomatoes, potatoes, apples and some other plants, so keep it away from gardens and orchards.
Growth Habit
Tall, straight trunked tree, 40 to 65 ft, with an open crown and a deep taproot.
Spacing
Plant 12 to 18 ft apart. A bundle of 25 covers 300 to 450 ft of row.
Pollination
Wind-pollinated. Male and female flowers on one tree often open at different times, so several trees crop better.
Cold hardiness
We rate black walnut to zone 3, winters to -40°F. It leafs out late and drops leaves early.
How wholesale orders work
- Bundles can't be split. Sizes under 3 ft. come 25 to a bundle, 3 ft. and taller come 20 to a bundle.
- Price breaks count every Farm & Ranch bundle in your cart, any mix of plants. 4 bundles, 12 bundles and 24 bundles each drop the price on all of them. The discount shows up in your cart on its own.
- Add to your order any time before it ships. Same shipping address, and the bundles count together toward the next price break.
- No cancellations after February 1. Cancel part of an order before then and the rest is priced at the break it still earns.
- If we come up short on a plant, you keep the price break you paid for and we refund the bundles we couldn't send.
- Our dead plant guarantee covers these the same as everything else we sell. A plant that never leafs out its first season gets a credit code for what you paid for it plus its share of the shipping. We can't break a bundle, so credit goes toward a future order, not loose replacement plants.

Shipping restrictions: We cannot ship black walnut to Arizona, where walnut trees from Montana and every state east of it are prohibited, or to Texas, where walnut trees from other states are quarantined for pecan weevil. Some states also quarantine walnut from states that have thousand cankers disease. Check your own state and county list before planting.
