Black Walnut Trees Are Easy To Love

Black walnut trees are beautiful, strong, and magnificent. They are also very hardy and grow in various soil type as long as it is well-drained. 

Black walnuts are dioecious plants, meaning they have separate male and female trees. 

The male tree produces pollen in late spring, fertilizing the female flowers on the same tree or nearby trees. The female flowers produce nuts that eventually fall to the ground, where they germinate into seedlings.

Black walnut trees should be pruned only when necessary because they tend to increase once established. Before pruning a black walnut tree, it is essential to understand how this plant grows so you don't accidentally cut off its water supply or damage its roots by cutting too low on its trunk or branches.
