Walnuts are increasingly popular and have been given a 'renaissance' in terms of planting due to the newer varieties that are faster to fruit, and generally smaller than the traditional common walnut. Walnut trees are a great choice for a tree which provides a plentiful harvest for many years, as well as growing to be a strong architectural tree which will have a real presence in your garden. Mature walnut trees have the additional feature of deeply ridged bark which adds a real sense of character and charm to the tree. Of course, the tree’s fruit is its most noteworthy feature and the nuts are encased in a hard outer shell which beings to crack when the nuts are ripe. Ensure you get to them before the squirrels do or your wonderful crop will soon disappear! Walnuts have many health benefits and can be used in baking, for pickling or simply for eating alone as a healthy snack. If you want to pickle your walnuts then pick them in mid-summer before the shell has fully formed- 'Bucanneer' is a particularly good variety for picking. Although some walnut trees are self-fertile, most require another walnut tree to be planted nearby as a pollination partner.

Juglans Plovdivski
Plovdivski Walnut Tree
Common Name: Plovdivski Walnut Latin Name: Juglans regia 'Plovdivski' Soil: Moderately fertile, well-drained Position: Full sun Hardiness: Half-hardy, shelter from frosts Fruit picking time: Autumn Fruit size/colour: Large-sized/Golden-brown The 'Plovsovski' is a Bulgarian variety which is often grown for timber, as well as its wonderfully large nuts. Although this is a fairly light cropper, the nuts that it does produce have a wonderful flavour; this is certainly a case of quality over quantity. 'Plovdivski' ripens early and so it is suitable for northern or high-altitude locations. This tree is also blight resistant which is another added benefit. The slender, spreading branches are almost pendulous at their tips and hold fairly large mid-green leaves.
