Learn step by step how to identify, harvest, prepare, and germinate Black Walnuts to grow your own trees. In this in-depth video, I will show you where to find, positively identify, and then gather the Walnuts at the right time of the year. Furthermore, I show you how to test the viability of the Walnuts (good viable Walnuts should sink in water within 60 seconds). Then, I show how to stratify or winter sow the nuts, and germinate them.

Below is a link to our identification guide, which also contains step by step instruction for germinating Black Walnut trees. It is a good quick reference to refer to after watching this video:

To learn how effective the float test is, see our write up on it where I summarize several published studies - https://growitbuildit.com/float-test-...

The nutcracker I showed in the video - you can buy those here from the guy here -

It is a very nice nutcracker, you have lots of leverage, and you can quickly adjust it to crack different sized nuts such has Hickory, Butternut, or just about anything else.

TREE SHELTERS - they really help grow trees faster from the greenhouse effect, as well as protect them from deer. https://amzn.to/3sVld5U (affiliate link)
