Lake English Walnut Tree

I bought this tree roughly 20 years ago from Stark Bro's. It grew quickly and started producing nuts after just 3 or 4 years. The nuts are very delicious and it is a heavy producer. We get several bushels of nuts every year, enough to last us all year. It is a beautiful tree. It is currently about 40 feet tall and has a wide spread which has required some pruning to keep it out of the neighbors yard. I have had no pest issues other than walnut husk flies which are easily managed with a July spraying. We do not have a pollinator nearby and yet it produces heavily.

I purchased my walnut last year - it took off right away with full leaf development and bounced right back again this spring after a late harsh winter season. Great care is taken into account with the stock and it shows ! Thank you.

I wish I had room for more of these! I chose it because of the self-pollinating feature. Since I planted it in Spring of 2011 this has grown to about fourteen feet high. I allowed plenty of room away from the neighbor's fence and other plantings on our property, because this will be a large and spreading tree. In our area of Ohio we have moderate PH soil with some heavy clay, with occasional rain runoff from neighboring fields causing standing water for brief periods, but has tolerated that well. Our yard gets some damaging winds, and so I staked the young tree. It produced several tasty walnuts last fall, and I am expecting it will produce much more this year. I like to bake, and I like English Walnuts particularly, even adding them to cooked buttered green beans, and topping salads with them. I like to plant things that will feed future caretakers of our property. The Lake English Walnut has grown to be such a handsome young tree.

This tree is doing quite well in our landscape. Looking forward to the tree producing a lot of fruit in the coming years.

I've bought and planted my walnut last fall. It was about 2.5 ft height. This year it added 3+ ft. So far I am very happy with it.

so far so good it's growing and made it through rough chicago winter.

It has lived and growing, slow growing, tendency to die back a bit during some spring frosty mornings.

About 18 years ago I ordered 2 Carpathian trees which were planted near to one another as recommended. No nuts yet. Last year I researched and discovered there are two types of nut trees with different blossoming seasons. Therefore, the trees can't produce without a proper pollinator variety. The Lake English Walnut should make the older trees produce in a few years. Same for two Pecan trees and 10 sweet cherries planted back then. Hopefully, I will live long enough to see a harvest.

We have been disappointed so far with our Walnut trees, we ordered two. We have watched them closely, cared and watered them but they are not leafing out yet. Everything else is coming along except for a filbert and plum tree we had to replace. Hoping that they are just late bloomers and they will still come out. Stark Brothers Nursery has been very good to work with us and I would certainly recommend them to anyone, they are fair and helpful in all things.

This tree was a replacement for a 15 year old maple tha didn't grow in North Carolina. The walnut seems to be growing better but it has only been in the ground for 2 years. Too early for any nuts, so I will reserve my opinion for now. Duane
