Plant Highlights

  • Water

    Moderate water needs; requires consistent moisture during establishment and nut development but tolerates occasional drought once mature.

  • Pollination

    Monoecious, but self incompatible. and benefits from cross-pollination between two trees for significantly improved nut yield.

  • Soil

    Thrives in well-drained, deep loamy soils with a pH of 6.0-7.5; prefers slightly alkaline soils. Loves calcium rich soils, we've seen great results in our thin mountain soils.

  • Years to Bear

    Seed-grown trees take 7-10 years

  • Hardiness

    Zone 4/5, tolerating temperatures as low as -28°C with reports of certain specimens surviving and producing into - Zone 5, tolerating temperatures as low as -35°C

  • Solar

    Prefers full sun for optimal nut production but tolerates partial shade during its juvenile stages
