(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’

(Prunus Americana) -Full Sun– Full size on own roots (not grafted), plant two for pollination. disease resistant
These seedling trees are extremely disease-resistant and set bumper crops of golf-ball sized fruit every two years. In between years get a smaller crop. The fruit is red-skinned and yellow fleshed and glows when the sunlight hits it! It is delicious eaten straight off the tree with a slight astringency that comes through delightfully in wine made from these fruits. The roots will sucker so if you do not mow around them, they will eventually form a clonal “grove” of plums for you!
