The trees are dormant now, and they are lifted from the beds and sent as bareroot. Nice hefty 15+ inch trees.
The Black Walnut is fairly popular over much of the country for its healthy edible nuts. The Black Walnut is (Juglans nigra), a native of the central to eastern parts of the country, and planted across much of the country. Nice shade tree, nuts, and incredible wood used for lumber, furniture and flooring. They can grow in most climates and growing conditions, from drier areas to colder northern regions, in most soils. Plant them in the garden or landscape design where they can be seen, but away from parking areas and walkways as the tree and roots can get very large. Typically a single tall tree, with multiple sprouts possible. Masses of tiny petal-less flowers produces green nuts by late-Summer, where the husks blacken and drop as the nuts become ripe. Good for eating (but tough to crack), smaller meat than other types of walnuts, and very flavorful. Plant singly, in lines, or nut plantations. Hardy from Zones 5 to 9, and heights can get 30 to 60 feet tall. Prefers full sun, moderate water, most soils, but certainly loamy moist composty-like soils is better.
What we Send:
This tree was seed-grown. Fast grower, initially sent as 12 to 16 inches. Nice trees, they are really amazing to watch grow! Verified as a "good" hardy plant checked before packing. These are dormant, may be trimmed back, and the long taproot may be trimmed also. Carefully wrapped as bareroot, so they will arrive in good shape, even if dry-looking, the roots are full of water. Pot them when they arrive, or outplant now and cover with mulch. Plant these about 6+ inches deep, depending on the roots spread out.
Shipping weight is about 1 pound.

Plan on this:
If you live in the Southern half of the country, order starting November, and take delivery now. Plant (or pot) the tree right away. You can plant as long as your ground is not frozen. Put a thick layer of mulch around it. Get planted by mid-April before the weather gets too warm for us to ship.
If you live in the Northern half of the country, order during the late Winter, and take delivery early. Pot up your tree and hold it in a dark, cool, moist location, that will get a minimal amount of light and some moisture, but cool enough to keep it dormant until you can plant it outdoors. Plant as soon as your ground thaws. After planting, put a thick layer of mulch around it.
