Walnut Trees

Douglas Hunt on Nov 20, 2013I have no idea where you got that idea, Stella, but seeds are exactly how you get walnuts. You can let nature take its course and plant seeds before winter—about 6 inches deep would be good—then watch for the viable ones to show growth in the spring. Or, you can stratify the seeds before planting, which is basically an artificial way to mimic what would happen in the ground. To do that, place the seeds in about 3 inches of moist sand and keep them in a refrigerator (33 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit) for 120 days. Be sure the nuts are kept moist throughout the stratification process to ensure uniform germination. Walnuts have a long taproot so plant them where you intend them to grow.Helpful Reply

Stella Chavez on Nov 23, 2013When I asked about seeds, I meant the walnut itself. If it's from seeds, where can I get them from?Helpful Reply
