Walnut
How to plant a walnut tree?
When planting walnut trees, it's important to choose a sunny location with enough space to allow the tree to develop fully. It is recommended that walnut trees are planted in autumn, just before winter, to allow them to root and be ready to start up again in spring.
It is essential to prepare the soil beforehand by working it deeply to encourage root growth. Walnut trees prefer rich, deep, well-drained soil, so avoid soil that is too heavy and clayey. It is also advisable to add compost or well-decomposed manure to enrich the soil naturally.
After planting, it is important to mulch the base of the tree with organic mulch to conserve soil moisture and limit weed growth. It is also advisable not to use chemical fertilisers, to preserve natural, environmentally-friendly gardening.
