The walnut tree - a plant that is easy to care for

Ultimately, a walnut tree just needs an adequate one Locationto thrive vigorously and to bear fruit over the years (rather decades). If the tree finds sufficient nutrients in the soil, it is (almost) perfectly happy.

We recommend, however, not to take any risks and to regularly close the walnut tree despite its modesty fertilize. Once a year is sufficient.

Which fertilizer is suitable for the walnut?

Good news: you can do without fertilizers from specialist retailers. As a rule, you do not have to buy any liquid, whole or organic fertilizers for a walnut tree.

Instead, it makes sense to naturally pamper the walnut with the nutrients it needs. Opt for the simplest and cheapest solution: mature compost.

Fertilize walnut tree - in three easy steps

1. Wait for your walnut tree to be its fruit has lost.
2. Lay the ripe compost on the ground around the trunk of the walnut.
3. Then work the compost carefully into the soil.

With natural fertilization you improve the soil in two ways:

1. They optimize the soil quality in terms of nutrients.
2. They loosen up the soil, which makes it easier for it to absorb moisture.

Extra: When to do a soil analysis

Is your walnut growing poorly? Is it perhaps not fruiting despite its age? Or does the tree develop wither leaves?

In these three cases, consider a Soil analysis carry out (let). That's how it's done:

1. Remove a little soil in the immediate vicinity of the trunk.
2. Fill the sample into an airtight container.
3. Take the container with the soil to a nursery or laboratory.
4. Let the experts there test the earth.
5. Check out which nutrients that are important for walnuts are missing in the soil.
6. Then make a targeted fertilization.
