Organic Black Walnut Seeds for Planting - Native Nut Tree, Juglans Nigra, Zones 4-9 - Ships September

Fresh, Prepared Black Walnut Seeds — Ready for Cold Stratification

These are fresh-season Black Walnut seeds (Juglans nigra) prepared specifically for planting. Each seed is dehulled, float-tested for viability, and held in cold-moist stratification from approximately late October — so they arrive ready to go into the ground.

Planting Instructions

1. Prepare 6–8" pots with soil and place them outside — cold stratification is required for germination (70–120 days total)
2. Plant seeds 1–2" deep
3. Place a screen over pots to prevent squirrels from digging out seeds
4. Roots develop first; shoots emerge around late April in zone 7b (Maryland), early May in zone 6a

Important Notes

• Black Walnuts have large taproots — plant in their permanent location while still small
• Black Walnut trees produce Juglone, which is toxic to many plants — site carefully away from sensitive species
• Ships in September
