Nut Trees – more info

Nut trees will last many years so give them the best start possible. Incorporate good organic matter or compost into the planting hole and use a stake and tree tie to secure the plants until they establish. For more advice, see our Frequently Asked Questions below.

Which is the earliest nut tree to fruit?

Almonds are the earliest nut trees to fruit, with a crop ready to harvest in August.

Can you grow nut trees in shade?

Hazelnuts, corylus varieties and purple filbert nut trees will all cope with part-shade.

Do any nut trees have flowers?

Almonds ‘Ingrid’ and ‘Robijn’ both have stunning pink blossom in early spring. Often planted for the beauty of their blossom alone, many growers view the nuts as an added bonus!
