Fruits and Vegetables, Trees and Shrubs

Sow seed just covered in fall, into a sheltered area; protect from squirrels and the like. Seeds may also be overwintered cool and very lightly moistened in sand or peat, for sowing the next spring. A period of stratification may be helpful. Germination is irregular; light aids sprouting. Well-draining, very fertile soil. Full sun

Cultivars may be whip-grafted, also in spring, usually onto Juglans nigra seedling rootstock. Can adversely affect the growth of neighbouring plants. Zone 5-9
