Closing down tree sales for this year. Thanks INGO
- New Crop English (Carpathian) Walnut and Pecan Seedling Trees.New this year approximately 45 English Walnut (Carpathian variety) seedling trees. (Pecan seedling trees are not yet up). These take about 15-18 years to mature and start producing nuts in quantity. These are strong vigorous trees that have withstood 40-50 mph winds with minimal damage. We harvest 100 plus pounds of English Walnuts per year from three trees. I had limited space when these were planted and they are too crowded, but if you have acreage available, would make an excellent nut grove if properly spaced. The English Walnuts are easy to harvest as they just open up and fall to the ground in late September/October. It is however, a race to beat the tree rats to the harvest. If you have multiple trees, no problem, there's plenty to share. If you have squirrels in abundance, they will strip the trees over a matter of a few weeks. I'm looking for $5 for each new seedling and $10 for two year old trees. I'm in Noblesville and not willing to drive to meet. PM and I will provide directions for pick up. One final note: These do well here, and might survive harsher conditions further North. Now for the pictures:
Mature walnut tree approx 30 ft tall.
Nuts on a Walnut tree in June
Nuts in late September opening and ready to drop.
Seedlings ready to plant
The harvest from 2016, 10 total baskets.
Check nursery prices for Carpathian Walnut trees. These are a bargain.
I have just a few two year old trees available also so PM to reserve these as they go quickly and for pick up arrangements.
All the best and thanks for any interest. This is a long term plan, but you will be greatly rewarded for your patience!
