The walnut tree is relatively demanding in terms of location. However, if you follow our recommendations, the tree will lack nothing!
A walnut tree needs one thing above all: space
space please!
A walnut tree wants to be as free and airy as possible. If this is not the case, it will thrive with a delay or not at all.
In general, when planting, you should keep in mind that a walnut can reach a height of 15 meters or more. Of course, a large area must be available for this, both upwards and in width and depth.
Important: Do not place your walnut tree too close to houses or fences to the neighbors. A minimum distance of five meters is advisable.
sun and winter protection
A walnut tree needs a lot of sun - and protection in the cool season. Because walnuts are very sensitive to frost and can freeze quickly under certain circumstances. Choose a south-facing location!
Profound ground
In terms of substrate, the walnut tree is at least a little less demanding. However, he feels most comfortable in a deep, loamy soil. Clay soil is also an option. Loose, nutritious and calcareous substrate fits wonderfully.
