Young Walnut Tree | Juglans regia 'Coenen'

Cultivar

The Juglans regia 'Coenen' is a robust Dutch cultivar of the Walnut tree, also known as Walnut or Okkernoot.

Growth Habit

One of the distinguishing features of the 'Coenen' compared to the Juglans regia is that the 'Coenen' cultivar leafs out early and has a wide, open crown.

Edible Nuts

The Juglans regia 'Coenen' produces nuts at a young age that are particularly tasty and quite large. The hard shell of the nut is also virtually free of cracks or defects, making it a commonly used nut in walnut production.

Flowers

The male and female flowers of the Juglans regia 'Coenen' appear almost simultaneously on the tree, allowing for self-pollination. For the best yield, you can plant the Juglans regia 'Broadview' nearby to ensure good pollination.

How to plant the tree?

1. Determine the final location of the tree and ensure it is free from cables, debris, old plants, and other obstacles that may hinder the tree's growth.
2. Dig a planting hole that is twice the width of the root ball. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the planting hole and mix the excavated soil with (organic) garden soil or planting substrate.
3. Adjust the planting hole to the height where the root ball fits and firmly press the soil.
4. Fill the planting hole with water and wait for it to settle. Check if the root ball is sufficiently moist.
5. Place the tree or plant in the planting hole. It is extremely important that the tree is not planted too deep, as this can cause root rot.
6. Insert a tree stake or bamboo stake firmly into the ground on the side of the tree where the most wind comes from.
7. Now, place the watering ring or create a mound of soil around the tree so that water can seep into the ground.
