Varieties

I found and selected the Idaho Carpathian Walnut, which flowers late, enabling it to produce even with a cold/late spring.

Site Selection

All walnut species grow best on top quality sites. To be successful with Carpathian walnut, you need to choose a site with deep (three feet or more), well-drained loamy soils with pH values between 6.0 and 8.0. Smooth or gently rolling landscapes provide the best topography, although lower north- and east-facing slopes in mountainous terrain, as well as stream terraces and floodplains, also provide good sites for Carpathian walnut. Avoid frost pockets at all costs, as this species is very susceptible to frost damage. Poor site characteristics such as insufficient or excess moisture, steep slopes, south- or west-facing aspects, hardpan layers.
