5 Bare Root Live Plants Black Walnut Tree 12 Inch Tall Juglans nigra American

Black walnut (Juglans nigra) is a long-lived deciduous hardwood tree valued for its tall, straight trunk, fine-grained wood, and edible nuts. These bare root plants arrive at approximately 12 inches tall, ready to establish in the landscape when planted at the proper depth and kept consistently moist during the first season. A stately shade and nut tree for large properties, it develops a deep taproot and a broad canopy over time.
Use black walnut as a specimen shade tree, in windbreaks, or in edible nut plantings on spacious sites. The nuts are used in baking and confections, and the tree supports wildlife. Its growth is moderate to fast in deep, well-drained soils, and it produces the familiar aromatic foliage and round green husks before the mature nuts drop in autumn. Bare root plants should be kept cool and damp before planting and set out while dormant.
