Chandler Walnut Tree

The Chandler Walnut Tree is lovely to look at, easy to care for, and yields a popular nut that is both savory and sweet–it’s got good looks and delicious treats, all in one tree! These trees are popular in home orchards and gardens, as they typically reach a maximum height of 40 feet and they grow upward, as opposed to spreading far and wide like other fruit and nut-bearing trees. To add to its list of superior qualities, the Chandler walnut tree bears nuts on lateral buds, as opposed to just the terminal. This means the volume of walnuts is robust and more evenly distributed throughout the tree, for a more scrumptious yield for you. More than just good-looking and nut-bearing, the Chandler is a favorite in sunny landscaping that could use a bit of shade. This tree thrives in full sun and its dense foliage provides excellent respite for gardeners, children playing in the yard, or pairs of friends lazily sipping ice cold lemonade on a warm summer evening. The Chandler walnut tree is self-fertile but would benefit from a nearby pollinator, such as a second Chandler or a Franquette walnut tree. In the presence of a pollinator, your yield is likely to double. If your landscaping style leans toward the Mediterranean, cottage, organic, or informal you will be thrilled with the upright, bright green foliage of this tree, as well as its relatively compact size.
