Walnuts and their healthy content
Walnuts are known for their high content of omega-3 fatty acids, making them a healthy snack and a nutritious addition to salads, baked goods and breakfast dishes. In addition to omega-3, walnuts also contain protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals, all of which contribute to a healthy lifestyle.
By growing your own walnuts, you not only enjoy the tree's decorative value in the garden, but also fresh, healthy nuts straight from the garden to the table.
Pruning a walnut tree
When the tree is young, it should be pruned to ensure uniform growth. Cut so that it has a clear top, shorten the shoots from other years a little. It is advisable to create a continuous trunk.
Prune branches that cross the tree and create air and light for the branches.
When the tree reaches a certain size, it can no longer be pruned, but then it should have reached a balance between growth and fruiting.
