Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

Choose a clear, sunny location that is not in the shade of other trees and receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Trees establish roots better in sandy, well-drained soils rather than heavy, poorly drained soil. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade or till the soil 6-8 inches deep. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots. If the soil is heavy or clay-like, mix in some sand or compost to improve drainage. Optionally, either form rows of soil beds or hills 4-6 inches high and at least 15 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage, ensure good airflow, and make harvesting or maintenance easier. Lay down 1/2"-3/4" peat moss, sawdust, or potting soil, the soil surface. This layer is beneficial because it can the improve the germination environment and prevent soil crusting.

Planting:

Starting Indoors: Seeds require cold, moist stratification to break dormancy. Remove the outer husk and soak the walnuts in hot tap water and let stand for 24 hours prior to sowing. To stratify, roll seeds in a damp paper towel and place in a resealable bag. Place the bag in the refrigerator to keep seeds at 35F-40F for 90-120 days, mimicking winter conditions. After the stratification period, seeds should be ready to germinate. To germinate seeds, place the bags in a warm 70F-90F area. Check every other day. Once roots are visible, sow in moist potting soil and place in a sunny area that is at least 65F, about 1 month after the last expected frost in spring. Keep the soil moist, allowing the top inch of soil to dry in between waterings.

Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of leaves and are at least 6 inches in height, harden off seedlings then transplant outdoors in the spring, in a sunny location when temperatures are consistently above 65F. To transplant seedlings, prepare a transplant hole outdoors in a sunny, permanent location. Remove the plants carefully from the pots or flats and set them in the transplant holes, burying some of the stem in the ground. Pack the soil loosely around the plant and leave a slightly sunken area around each plant to hold water. Water the plants after transplanting.

Directly Sowing: If directly sowing outdoors, plant seeds in late summer to naturally cold-stratify seeds. Remove the outer husk and soak the walnuts in hot tap water and let stand for 24 hours prior to sowing. To plant, make holes 1-2 inches deep and spaced 30-40 feet apart down the rows of raised beds. Plant 1 seed per hole, then cover thinly with soil. Seedbeds can be covered with plastic film to promote germination. Water after planting.



Planting Depth: 1-2 inches
Within-Row Spacing: 30-40 feet
Between-Row Spacing: 40 feet


Care During the Season:

Black Walnut Tree enjoys deep, consistent watering during the growing season, especially in its early years or during prolonged dry spells, to support strong root and canopy development. Ensure it receives full sun for optimal growth, and apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture, reduce weeds, and regulate soil temperature—keeping the mulch a few inches away from the trunk. Avoid over-fertilizing, as black walnuts generally thrive in moderately fertile soil, though a light application of balanced fertilizer in spring can be beneficial. Prune only to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches, as minimal pruning helps maintain its natural form. Monitor for common pests such as walnut caterpillars and treat issues early to keep the tree healthy and vigorous throughout the season.

Harvesting:

Black Walnut Tree can be harvested in early to mid-fall, when the green outer husks begin to yellow, soften, or split, and the nuts start dropping naturally. Gather fallen nuts from the ground or shake low branches gently to release ripe ones, then remove the husks—wearing gloves, as they can stain—either by hand or by rolling the nuts underfoot. After husking, rinse the nuts thoroughly and allow them to cure in a cool, airy location for several weeks to develop their full, rich flavor. Avoid picking nuts directly from the tree while the husks are still hard and green, as they haven’t fully matured. Once cured, the walnuts can be cracked, stored, or used in a wide range of culinary recipes.

Fun set
Color: All-Around Dog Puzzle Toys
Super cute and dog feeding kit with lots of options at a great price. The balls are a little on the flimsy side, but for the price the set is hard to beat. I have a 12 pound dachshund who is a fast eater, but also loves a good challenge. While the toy is not difficult for her to figure out (she is a little to smart for her own good) it does at least slow her down enough that she chews her food some. The sliders on the feeder move around easily which make it easy to clean and refill, but also make it a lot easier for her to get to the food. It is probably comparable to a level one difficulty for anyone who has tried the Outward Hound food toy games.

Very sturdy products esp for my big chewers
Color: All-Around Dog Puzzle Toys, Color: All-Around Dog Puzzle Toys
My dogs loved these, loved the lick pads as they have suctions, we personally use it for when we are bathing since my dogs hate baths, we just stick it onto the wall. The puzzles were fun which kept them entertained, the balls that had we were able to put treats in them, my dog loved it more as a ball as they are very ball driven. I bought this weeks ago and it’s extremely sturdy. Also easy to clean.

Great Stuff

About as indestructible as it gets. It's just very hard molded material. I always make sure to wash the dog toys before letting them play, who knows where they come from. Picture is after hours/days of the built playing with it
