Description
- A more compact walnut tree, ‘Broadview’ starts producing nuts at a younger age than other varieties suited to the UK climate and has attractive bright green pinnate leaves
- Self fertile, so you only need one tree for a good crop. Walnuts usually start to be produced in the third to fourth year after planting
- Delicious walnuts can be harvested green for pickling or left until autumn to dry and store
- Grows to 6 x 5m but can be pruned smaller
- Green catkins appear in spring, attracting early pollinators
- Perfectly suited to the UK climate – grow in full sun in a sheltered spot for best crops
- 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
