Ready to grow your own Heartnut trees? We offer robust two one year old Heartnut (Juglans ailantifolia var. cordiformis) seedlings, bred for large nut production. Heartnuts are verified hardy to zone 5. Each listing includes images showing the size of nuts produced by these trees.

Heartnuts adapt well across zones 5-9, thriving in sandy, loamy, and heavy soils, and tolerate acidic, neutral, and even very alkaline conditions. They can reach heights of 15-20m. Typically, Heartnuts start producing female flowers after 4 years and male catkins after 5 years. Planting our two-year-old seedlings gives you a head start towards your first fruit, usually expected within 4-5 years—remember, you'll need at least two trees for cross-pollination.

Our seedlings are nurtured with a balanced blend of nutrients including nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, and trace elements such as iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron, and molybdenum to ensure vigorous growth and disease resistance. They are ready to plant straight from the pots they come in.

As live plants, they require quick shipping options. We offer combined shipping for multiple plants to ensure healthy delivery. For optimal fruit set, a minimum of two trees is recommended. Start your Heartnut orchard with us today and enjoy the journey to your first harvest!
