10 x Fresh 2025 Heartnut (Juglans ailantifolia var. cordiformis) Seeds

They are not trees! Only seed nuts to grow into trees. The seed has come from our own Midlands based orchards.

Heartnut (Juglans ailantifolia var. cordiformis) is a native of Japan. But it grows equally well here in the UK (Zone 6).

The heartnut tree is best suited to well-drained, fertile sand and clay loam soils with a pH of 6 to 7. Plants produce a deep taproot, and they are intolerant of root disturbance. They are suited to soils where black walnut and butternut grow wild. They are vigorous trees, growing 50 to 100 cm or more in a year, reaching a height of 15 m and a spread of 20 to 30 m. The large, lush compound leaves are largely unaffected by most insect pests. Grafted trees will begin to bear in 1-3 years, with commercial production expected in 6-8 years. The trees are long-lived with annual production estimated at 1-3 tons per acre.

These are edible, and grow into a low-height but bushy tree

The leaves have a very pleasant aroma.

Why not be a Guerrilla gardener and plant a few in some untended ground, and reap the benefits later on in their maturity?

You will have to store them in a cool place until sowing them directly into the ground or into pots in the spring. At all times, protect from vermin.
