Description

Grow a native North American hardwood with Butternut Tree Seeds (Juglans cinerea), also known as White Walnut. Valued for its attractive foliage, sweet edible nuts, and beautiful golden wood, the Butternut tree is an excellent choice for homesteads, wildlife plantings, restoration projects, and large landscapes. This deciduous tree develops a broad, rounded crown and provides excellent shade while producing nutritious nuts enjoyed by people, squirrels, birds, and other wildlife.

Butternut trees thrive in full sun and well-drained soils, growing steadily into impressive specimens that can reach heights of 40 to 60 feet. Their distinctive compound leaves and rugged bark add year-round interest to the landscape. The flavorful nuts mature in late summer to fall and are prized for baking, cooking, and fresh eating.

Our Butternut Tree Seeds have a germination range of 60–80% and require 90–120 days of cold moist stratification before planting to break dormancy and encourage successful germination.
