Juglans cineria is a deciduous tree slowly growing to 50'-60' tall and 30' wide. Leaves are compound, hairy and dark green. Flowers are considered insignificant. Fruit is sticky and oily, with a light green husk. In fall, the fruit opens up to reveal sweet oily nuts that squirrels and people love. Deer like the foliage.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
