Black Walnut Management


Walnut trees have few pest problems, but extreme cold can severely damage branches and kill trees. Damaged trees then can be infected by canker diseases. To avoid frost damage, do not plant walnut in narrow valleys with steep adjacent side slopes, or on bottomland sites that are frost pockets. Your seed source should originate no more than 200 miles south of the planting site.
