When do walnuts ripen?

Walnut ripening season is generally "summer" season (walnut ripening in mid-August and early September in the solar calendar).

Seven dozen walnuts, eight dozen pears and persimmons in September all have red skins. These are all lunar calendars. Walnuts ripen in July of the lunar calendar. Walnuts are on the market at this time, and most people in rural areas know it. Let's wait until July to buy them.

Growth habit

Walnut likes light, cold resistance, drought resistance and disease resistance, adapts to the growth of various soils, and likes fertile and humid sandy loam, water, fertilizer and sunshine. At the same time, the requirements for water and fertilizer are not strict, and it is not suitable for pruning after defoliation and before germination, which is easy to cause bleeding. Suitable for most land growth. Calcareous soil is common in deep soil on both sides of the valley.

morphological character

Generally, it is as high as 3-5 meters, with grayish white bark, shallow longitudinal crack, flaky pith and thin tips of young branches (2-year-old branches are often hairless). There are also 20-25 meters high, with shorter trunks and wider crowns than other species. Bark is grayish green when young, grayish white when old, and shallow longitudinally. Branchlets glabrous, shiny, peltate glands, grayish green, and later brownish.

The pinnate compound leaves are 25 ~ 50 cm long, with 5 ~ 9 leaflets and rare 13 leaflets. Oval-ovoid to ovoid, terminal leaflets are usually larger, 5 ~15cm long and 3 ~ 6cm wide, with acute or acuminate apex, rounded or wedge-shaped base and sometimes heart-shaped. Entire or with inconspicuous blunt teeth, the surface is dark green and hairless, and the back is only slightly hairy in the axils.
