1 Year Bareroot Butternut 12-18 inches

1 year Butternut saplings. These are fast growing stock which reached over 12" in their first season.

Juglans cinerea, White walnut or Butternut gets it's name from the buttery flavored nut that it produces. Grows 1-2 foot per year to an average height of 40-60 feet with a rounded crown and wide spread.

These trees are on the endangered species list. Butternut Canker has wiped out approximately 80% of the species in the past 30 years. The hope is by growing as many as possible, the species will develop resilience to the fungus which causes this disease.

To keep these trees healthy, we've found that treating both the foliage and soil around the tree with neem oil has proven effective. Neem oil is a naturally occurring pesticide and fungicide found in seeds from the neem tree. Please contact us via e-mail for application instructions.
