Walnut- Broadview

Walnut- Broadview

  • Bare root trees can be pre-ordered from June but will only be delivered through winter 2024-5.

Broadview is currently the best choice of walnut tree in the UK because it begins to fruit much sooner than the common walnut.

It is a medium sized deciduous tree and with regular pruning it can be kept to a manageable size of around 12-15ft (3-4 metres) making it suitable for all but the smallest of gardens.

This pruning also encourages heavier fruiting. With the right care fruiting can begin after just three years of being planted, and is very prolific.

Nuts can be harvested green and pickled, or left until autumn to ripen when they are dried and can then be stored

Pollination

Pollination:

Pollination can seem like a complicated subject but it is not as much of a worry as people think, most people are likely to have good pollination in their garden due to the close proximity of other gardens.

Unless a tree is self fertile it will require a pollination partner in order to fruit.

All tree fruits are divided into flowering groups, i.e. varieties that flower at the same time fall into the same group. A variety from group 2 will cross with any other variety from group 2 and also any variety from adjacent groups 1 and 3.  This is the same for all the flowering groups. Some trees are triploids, which means that they are no use as a pollinator and require 2 compatible varieties  that pollinate each other.
