(Juglans ailantifolia) -Full to Part Sun– Attractive spreading growth, height 30′, vigorous fast grower, self fertile
After trying my first heartnuts straight from the tree at a local Amish farm, I was impressed! I lightly brushed off the husk, tapped the shell with my pocketknife on a fencepost and “ding!” the shell came apart in halves and the whole heart-shaped nut fell out intact. Add to this the flavor that was like a sweeter cross between English/black walnuts and you get one incredible nut! Anyone who has dealt with the difficulty of black walnut processing will love this change of pace. Heartnuts are smaller trees, spreading more to make an attractive yard tree with white bark like English walnuts. I’ve seen a few plants at various spots and they are all growing incredibly fast, putting on 4’ a year. Somewhat self-fertile. Seedlings are variable in nut size and may not be a true heart-shape. Full to part sun; Zone 5-8. Height 30’

Commonly known as a lovely landscape tree. Grafted males are what you typically see planted for ornamental purposes, but the females actually have a tasty and nutritious nut. The reason landscapers only plant the males is that the female’s seed has an outer covering (the “fruit”) that smells terrible and is a skin irritant. But when cleaned and roasted the seeds are easy to crack and taste great. You need a male to pollinate the female trees if you want nuts.

(Juglans regia) -Full to Part Sun– Upright shape, Height 40-60′ Russian seed source
Russian seed source that should have better productivity over the more common Polish seed source. These are seedlings that have good cold hardiness. While not quite as large as grafted varieties, they come pretty close and are easy to grow. More upright growth than heartnut with beautiful smooth white bark! Can sometimes have pest issues on the nuts but often have plenty of unharmed nuts to supply your winter pantry. Full to part sun; Zone 4-8. Height 30-40’

(Castanea mollisima) -Full to Part Sun– Spreading growth, height 30-50′, plant two for pollination
Seedlings from improved varieties. These beautiful spreading trees produce loads of large nuts at a younger age than most nut trees. Leaves glossy green. Beware the husks which are incredibly spiny (like a sea urchin), use gloves to get out any nuts that don’t drop free. But slice a cross in the hull, roast over a fire, peel and dip in melted butter—you’ll have a treat that will warm you up quick on cool fall/winter evenings! Unique for their starchiness amongst nuts—a tree-based carbohydrate source. Immune to chestnut blight. Prefers acidic soils—never put lime around a chestnut tree! Plant two for pollination. Full to part sun; Zone 4-8. Height 30-50’

(Diospyros virginiana x Diospyrus kaki) -Full Sun to Part Sun– Semi-Dwarf on Seedling Rootstock, Up to 25′ tall, self-fertile
Nearly seedless 2-3″ large fruits. This American/Asian hybrid (non-GMO) takes after the American persimmons in leaf and form, reaching up to 25′ tall, but tastes like a good mix of the two types. Soft and wrinkly when ripe, like the American persimmon. Self-fertile. Zones 5-8
