Large deciduous tree native to North America. Produces large edible nuts in autumn. Prized for its edible nuts and premium timber that can be used in furniture making. Immature nuts can be harvested in November or before the nut starts to form and pickled as a savoury accompaniment. Always wear gloves as they stain very badly! Grows 15-30 metres at maturity. Seed grown will take much longer to produce nuts than grafted varieties. Has a deep taproot and requires deep, free draining river-be type soils to thrive. Does not like hard compacted soils. The tree exudes a chemical called juglone which can inhibit the growth of surrounding plants. Trees like a ph of 6-7.5 ideally. You are buying a seed grown tree.
