English walnuts

by Unknown

And Remember:

That the trees need plenty of good, rich soil about their roots.

That the trees should be inclined slightly toward prevailing winds.

That the trees should not be cut back.

That the ground cannot be packed too hard around the roots and the tree.

That the trees should be mulched in the Fall.

That the ground should be kept cultivated around the trees during the Spring and Summer.

That English Walnut trees should be transplanted while young, as they will often double in size the year the tap-root reaches the sub-soil moisture (that is, the moist earth).

That tap-root trees are the easiest of all to transplant if the work is done while the trees are young and small.

That trees sometimes bear the third year after transplanting three-year-old trees where the sub-soil moisture is within six or eight feet of the surface.
