Description
- ‘Buccaneer’ is a reliable walnut tree that starts cropping from a young age (3-5 years) and produces heavier crops than many varieties
- Delicious walnuts can be harvested green for pickling or left until autumn to dry and store. They can then be eaten raw or used in cooking
- Grows to 6 x 5m in 20 years but can be pruned smaller
- Green catkins appear in spring, attracting early pollinators
- Ideally suited for the UK climate – grow in a sunny and sheltered spot for best harvests
- Self fertile variety – you’ll only need one tree for a good crop
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching. This formative pruning can involve cutting the main leader, if the expert tree growers decide this will produce a better shaped tree. This can stop the tree becoming “leggy”, and promote stronger, bushier growth.MORE
