Lake English Walnut Tree
Description
Nuttier flavor than supermarket walnuts. Attractive, stately tree provides cooling shade in summer months followed by crops of tasty Persian-type walnuts in the fall. Nuts fall free of husk when ripe. Thin shells crack easily. Bears in 4-5 years. Matures to be 30-40' tall. Heat-tolerant. Ripens in early October. Grafted. Self-pollinating, but you’ll get bigger harvests if pollinated with Stark® Champion™ English walnut. (Juglans regia)
