How many years does it take for walnut trees to bear fruit?

The age at which walnuts begin to set fruit is related to varieties and propagation methods. The early-fruiting walnut propagated by grafting can bear fruit in 2 ~ 3 years after planting, and the late-fruiting walnut propagated by seedling needs to bear fruit in 5 ~ 10 years, and grafting can advance the bearing age. Generally, it enters the full fruit period in 20 ~ 30 years, and its economic life is very long. Most of the walnut trees in northern Hebei are seedlings, and it takes 8 9 years or more to set fruit. Walnuts now bear fruit early. Generally, it can bear fruit in three years and produce high yield in five years.

Extended data:

Walnut, also known as walnut, belongs to Juglandaceae, and its varieties are divided into wild hickory and artificially grafted walnut. Originated in Central Asia, it is cultivated all over China. Generally, artificially improved varieties are selected because the improved varieties have higher yield and thinner shells than wild varieties, commonly known as pickled walnuts. Wild shells are thick, big and oily, and taste more fragrant, commonly known as iron walnuts. Walnut can be used as a shelter forest for road greening; Because its wood is tough and elastic, it is also the first-class material used in industry; Walnut shells can be processed into works of art, and walnuts, almonds, cashews and hazelnuts are called "four big nuts" in the international market. Walnut trees adapt to deep, loose, fertile and moist soil and cool climate and ecological environment.
