Consejos de cultivo

Walnuts produce juglone, a compound toxic to many plants — avoid planting tomatoes, peppers, or apples within the drip line of walnut trees.

Harvest when the green hull begins to split and separate from the shell; delay causes kernel darkening and quality loss.

Requires 400-1500 chill hours depending on variety; select cultivars matched to your specific winter climate.
