Red-Fruited Nut Trees
At first glance, you won’t notice a big difference! The green leaves, the trunk, and the growth shape of the tree crown are typical of a walnut tree. However, once you crack open the hard shell of a red walnut, it becomes clear why it is called a red, red-fruited, or red-kernel walnut tree: the thin skin surrounding the walnut kernel is colored in various shades of red or pink!

Looking for a unique walnut tree for your garden?
Then a red walnut tree is a great choice, as it is ideal for a leisure or home garden. As a self-pollinating deciduous tree, it makes a beautiful solitary tree. Because it forms a dense crown, you can create a lovely seating area underneath it, providing shade on warm summer days. Additionally, the tree’s shade helps improve the microclimate in your garden. At the end of summer, you will be rewarded with a rich walnut harvest, and in autumn, you can enjoy its beautiful foliage colors. By purchasing a red walnut tree, you not only get a stunning deciduous tree but also the joy of collecting and eating your own walnut harvest year after year.
What makes red walnuts special?
These special cultivations of Juglans regia produce walnut kernels with a red-colored inner skin. This not only makes them visually striking but also highly nutritious. The red anthocyanins in the skin are believed to have antioxidant properties, protecting the body against free radicals. Red walnuts have a pleasantly mild nutty flavor, making them a perfect addition to salads, baked goods, and other dishes. Due to their red skin, they are also used in the production of walnut cheese.

Choosing the right location for your red walnut tree
If you are considering buying a walnut tree, there are a few location requirements to keep in mind. The amount of available space is crucial, as these deciduous trees grow large and should not be planted too close to property boundaries or buildings. Is the soil type suitable? Like all representatives of the Juglans regia species, the cultivated red walnut prefers humus-rich, nutrient-rich, and well-draining soil. The planting location should be in full sun or partial shade.
Our care tips
Existing vegetation influences the tree’s development. Especially for small, young trees, it is important to keep the tree base free of other vegetation, such as weeds or grass, as this can negatively affect its growth. Young trees require extra water until their taproots are fully developed. Pruning to correct height and crown shape is possible at the end of September. Thinning out dense crowns is also an option. By following these tips, you will cultivate a beautiful tree that will reward you with a delicious walnut harvest in just a few years.
