High-yield cultivation techniques for walnuts

1. Choose the soil

Walnuts are highly adaptable to soil, but have weak resistance, so if you want high yields, you should choose deep, fertile soil with strong water and fertilizer retention capabilities for planting.

2. Water and fertilizer management

Walnuts have a relatively large demand for nutrients to grow, so base fertilizer needs to be applied before planting, and appropriate topdressing should be applied later depending on the growth of the tree. Note that the fertilizer needs to be mixed evenly with the soil and cannot be used directly.

3. Plastic and pruning

If you want high-quality and high-yield walnuts, pruning is also essential. You need to control the height of the tree and guide it accordingly. The tree height should be below 3.5 meters, and the crown can be transformed into a low-crown natural round head shape.
