Have you ever wondered why the price of nuts, including walnuts, is so high? Of course, the chemical composition and usefulness of their overestimation is difficult, but the mystery lies in the other. The answer is how much walnut grows, what effort you need to make to get the crop.
On which tree do walnuts grow?
Definitely on the old. The fact is that the walnut begins to bear fruit for about 10 years, and new imported and improved varieties for a couple of years later. As the walnut grows for a long time, it is necessary to invest a lot of labor in it. Even after reaching this age, fruiting may not occur.
Fruit is produced mechanically, chemically or biologically. It's not for nothing that the trees are plucked, filed or ringed. This triggers the fructification mechanism, the tree tries to extend the genus and therefore throws out the fruit buds. Most often, the method of bending and pinching young animals is used. How much walnut grows, so much it throws out lateral shoots. There are not many of them, but it is there that the most fertile buds are located. Therefore, young twigs and not cut.
Where do walnuts grow?
Surprisingly, there are quite a few places on the Earth where walnuts grow. They are located literally everywhere, the difference is that in the grade and the final chemical composition of the fetus. Ukraine exports nuts with Romania, Turkey and Mexico, their varieties are offered by Egypt and India. And every year the price only increases for this valuable product.
As the walnut grows for a long time, you can purchase a ready-made seedling and save yourself a couple of years. But growing directly from the fetus will give you a guarantee of preserving varietal characteristics. In any case, the tree will grow in a place sunny and well protected from the wind.
