Can walnut saplings grow alive in winter?

Walnut saplings can survive in winter. Firstly, the root system is developed, and the ground temperature starts to move at 15℃. In most areas south of Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China, the soil temperature below 30 cm in winter is above 15℃, so the walnut trees in these areas lose their leaves in winter, but their roots are still growing. This is what people often say: the walnut tree is resting.

Second, walnut seedlings are very elastic. Seedlings with a diameter of about 1.0 cm can bend back to 360 when they are slowly bent.

Thirdly, walnut seedlings are buried in the soil below 15cm. As long as there is moisture in the soil (seedlings can agglomerate with a gentle pinch of hands), even if they are placed in the frozen soil in winter, they will not freeze.

According to the above characteristics, we can know that the time for planting seedlings is: confirm that the walnut seedlings are capped (the top is closed and does not grow). This time usually starts from the "Millennium" solar term to the second year. But at this time, the sooner you plant it, the better!
