Heartnuts are the walnut for Zones 4B and warmer. They very much look like an English walnut tree but the leaves are a bit larger giving it an almost tropical look. Please see our page description for the full information. These walnuts can be used anywhere English walnuts are used.  We have been told that Heartnuts are the tree of the future!  These are 1 year old seedlings and will be shipped in the spring bare root.  Cannot ship to the Westcoast or Canada.  The trees are 1.5' to over 3'.  Need two or any other walnut nearby to pollenate.
