One of the greatest self-fertile varieties for growing in the UK as well as being one of the quickest to mature, producing fruit from its third or fourth year. Walnut ‘Broadview’ is a compact hardy tree which is slow-growing and produces silver-grey bark and colour-changing foliage which makes this tree a stunning focal point. Harvest the nuts in early autumn to dry out and store or harvest in July for pickling when they’re still green. The perfect choice for smaller gardens!Height: 6m (20ft). Spread: 4m (13ft).
Growing Information
Grow walnut trees in moist, well drained soil in full sun. When growing walnut trees, choose a sheltered position as young trees can be damaged by frosts. Prior to planting walnut trees, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil, and drive a stake into the planting hole to support the tree once it is planted. Plant walnut trees at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery, and use a tree tie to fasten the tree to the stake. Walnut roots inhibit the growth of other plants, so for best results avoid planting other plants under the canopy (which roughly mirrors the extent of the roots) or where the canopy will reach in future.
