Ukrainian Walnut Tree – A Hardy, High-Yielding Nut Producer 🌳🌰

The Ukrainian Walnut Tree is a prized selection known for its cold hardiness, large nut size, and superior flavor. Originally cultivated in Ukraine, this variety is well-adapted to cold climates and has become popular among nut growers in North America. With its excellent disease resistance and high oil content, the Ukrainian Walnut is an exceptional choice for both commercial and home orchards.

🌿 USDA Growing Zones & Chill Hours

Thrives in USDA Zones 4-9, making it one of the most cold-hardy walnut varieties.
Requires 1,200-1,500 chill hours for optimal nut development.

🌸 Pollination & Fruit Production

Pollination Type: Ukrainian Walnut trees are partially self-fertile, but they produce higher yields when paired with another variety.
Best Pollinators: Plant with English Walnut or American Black for enhanced nut production.
Nut Ripening: Harvest season occurs in late September to early October.
Produces large, thin-shelled nuts that are easy to crack.

🌳 How to Plant & Grow a Ukrainian Walnut Tree

📍 Best Planting Location

Full Sun: Requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Well-Draining Soil: Prefers deep, loamy, and slightly acidic to neutral soil.
Spacing: Plant trees 40-50 feet apart for proper growth.
Juglone Sensitivity: As with all walnut trees, Ukrainian Walnuts produce juglone, a natural compound that can affect certain plants like tomatoes and apples.

🌱 Step-by-Step Planting Instructions

Prepare the Soil: Remove weeds and amend with organic compost for better drainage.
Dig a Hole: Twice as wide as the root ball and deep enough to accommodate the roots.
Position the Tree: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root flare is level with the ground.
Backfill & Water: Fill in the hole with soil, tamp down gently, and water thoroughly.
Mulch: Apply Weed Pro Weed Mats or mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Protection: Use a Max Growth Tree Shelter to protect young trees from pests and harsh weather.

🌿 Ongoing Care & Maintenance

💧 Watering: Deep watering during dry periods is crucial for young trees.
✂️ Pruning: Prune in late winter to maintain shape and remove weak branches.
🌱 Fertilizing: Use Nutra-Pro 1st Year Fertilizer Packs to promote strong root development and abundant nut production.
