| Heartnut aka Japanese Walnut |
|---|
An easy-to-grow, spreading, attractive tree with large sweet nuts that halve easily. Abundant foliage, bears early and is hardy. A sweeter, easier-cracking nut than black walnut. A good shade tree with a spreading habit that's prettier in the landscape than black walnut. Susceptible to Walnut Bunch Disease. We have grown Heartnuts for 15 years and have not noticed the disease. For the areas of Zone 8 the disease could be more of a problem. Self-fruitful 20' to 35' recommended spacing. Zones 5-8.

| Champion English Walnut - Juglans regia |
|
At the time of ripening the fruits green husks split open and the walnut will fall to the ground for harvesting. Champion is a grafted tree and will produce 3 to 5 years after planting. According to Alabama A&M University, in the south, a soil borne virus kills English walnut trees especially in sandy soils. Not recommended for the Gulf states. One of the most reliable producers of large, easy-to-crack nuts. Zones 5-9. Space @ 14-20'.
