Walnut is a large deciduous tree-long-liver with a short trunk and a wide crown, valued for its nutritious seeds. The tree prefers sunny places but requires protection from wind; meanwhile, it is drought and frost resistant, making it suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions.
The 'Bukovynskyi' variety is one of the most popular options for walnut. The medium-sized tree reaches a height of 3.5-4.5 m, has a compact and dense crown, heavily covered with fruits. Fruits ripen by the end of September; their mass is 14-15 grams. The walnut shell is thin and easily crushed, while the kernel is characterized by high-quality taste, pleasant creamy color, and easy separation from the shell.
For successful cultivation, it is important to use grafted seedlings of variety trees, as only such a method of reproduction guarantees 100% correspondence to the mother specimen. Grafted walnut is five to six times more expensive than a seedling, but ensures a reliable harvest and high resistance to diseases. When planting, one should take into account recommendations for wind protection and ensuring sufficient lighting so that the tree develops strong and fruitful.
