Juglans regia 'Broadview' Tree

A popular compact walnut tree, Juglans regia 'Broadview' starts producing fruits at a younger age than other varieties suited to the UK climate. The tree is self fertile, with the medium sized walnuts typically making an appearance in the third to fourth year.

Juglans regia 'Broadview' is smaller than the Common Walnut tree and has attractive pinnate green leaves. The walnuts are ready to harvest in autumn, when they can be picked and dried out. Alternatively, pick them early, whilst still green and pickle them.

Planting Advice for Juglans regia Broadview

Our pot grown Broadview Walnut trees can be planted at any time of the year. Firstly, remove all weeds and grass within a metre of your desired planting hole. Dig a hole as deep as your root mass and approximately 2x as wide. To help your tree establish more effectively, we advise applying root grow (sprinkle in the hole for pot grown trees).

Gently loosen the tree roots and place into the planting hole. If your soil is poor, mix 50% of the original soil with 50% high quality compost, fill in the hole and firm around gently. Make sure not to bank the soil up around the collar of the tree. We recommend planting this tree with a stake and tie and, if your area is prone to rabbits, a rabbit guard.

Aftercare Advice for Juglans regia Broadview

If you’re planting Walnut trees in spring, summer or dry weather, water well and regularly for the first few months. Increase watering if there are extended periods of hot or dry weather. If you’re planting in autumn, you may only need to water your tree a little. We stock a range of irrigation kits.

Once planted, it is important to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass for the first couple of growing seasons.
