Walnut

The good fruiting forms of walnut trees have been selected over considerable time and include many from other countries. The fruits are generally large, thin shelled and of excellent eating quality. The green husks of fruit can be boiled to produce yellow dye and is a good source of tanning. Walnuts used for pickling are best picked in late June/early July before the shells are formed. Test these with a pin or skewer.

Walnut trees can still pollinate each other up to 250 metres away as long as the wind is blowing in the right direction! The fruits are very high in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids. Pruning should only be done if absolutely necessary and in the autumn before the leaves have fallen.

Walnuts can take some years before cropping begins. Applying a large cable tie to the tree trunk in May will restrict growth and promote the onset of fruit bud for the following year. The cable will need to be released in the autumn. This process can be repeated each year if desirable.
