The Walnut Tree

The Walnut Tree is the first definitive guide to growing and using walnut trees. Charles Hulbert-Powell has traveled widely, visiting walnut growers throughout the world in order to make useful comparisons between different varieties and growing conditions. His experience and the advice he offers in this book will be invaluable to anyone planning to plant a walnut grove, or who just wants to know about the history, folklore, and uses of the walnut tree and its fruit. 

Walnut Tree is chock-full of practical advice on choosing, planting, maintaining, and pruning walnut trees, as well as further information on different varieties of walnut trees and their habitats; the nuts in their different stages of growth; processing for making oil; the uses of the timber; the walnut in art; and culinary uses, including a collection of recipes.
