I live in zone 8a and some have told me it is labor intensive to grow good crops of walnuts. They need to be sprayed continually. Does anyone out there have any experience with successfully growing walnuts? Any advice?
Thank you,
Toni

We have a bottomland full of black walnuts and we've never had to use any chemicals at all.

It's true that we get the occasional webworm infestation, but those have been localized and easy to control with a long stick.

Don't use chemicals either. They do fine without chemicals, and produce
every year, with a heavy crop every other year.

Does anyone have experience with English Walnuts? I am in Spokane and want to plant a couple of trees in odd parts of my 10 acres. Thanks.

I live in NW Oregon and since my first post here, I have planted some English walnut seeds around my acreage. I am trying this because one of the farms I visited nearby said they had several english walnut volunteer trees sprout from unharvested nuts. They grew large and healthy and had a sizable crop within 5 years. So, I thought I would just give it a try. We will see if I get anything
