  • Notes

Juglans cineria is a deciduous tree. It grows 50'-60' tall and 40'-50' wide. Butternut resembles a black walnut tree, but is smaller; leaves have fewer leaflets and the flavored nuts are elongated or oval instead of round.
Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
