English walnuts : What you need to know about planting, cultivating and harvesting this most delicious of nuts

This compact handbook gathers the most important facts for anyone eager to start an English walnut orchard. Drawing on USDA research and the experience of seasoned growers, it walks readers through site selection, proper planting depth, pruning techniques, and the timing of harvest. The instructions are presented in plain language, with handy tables and seasonal checklists that make the learning curve less steep.

The book also explains why the Persian walnut has become a favorite both in the kitchen and as a shade tree.
