When is walnut harvested? In which month of the year is walnut harvested?

Walnut harvest time

The harvest time of walnuts is related to the variety and climate differences. The maturity time of early-maturing varieties and late-maturing varieties differs by about 10-20 days. Usually, walnuts in northern regions mature in early to mid-September, while walnuts in southern regions mature earlier.

The walnuts should be harvested neither too early nor too late, otherwise the quality will be affected and the yield will not be high enough. Usually, when the walnut skin turns yellow-green and cracks, the walnuts will fall off easily when hit with a bamboo pole. At this time, the walnuts can be harvested.

Walnut Origin

The distribution area of ​​walnuts in my country is very wide. Walnuts grow or are planted in Northeast my country, North China, Southwest China, South China, East China and other regions. Anhui Province also has Asia's largest walnut forest farm.

The harvest time varies depending on where walnuts are planted. In the north, harvesting generally starts around mid-September, while in the south, where the temperature is higher, the harvest time is suitable to be one to two weeks in advance. In addition, if walnuts are grown in mountainous areas, the temperature is lower and the harvest time will be delayed, so it is more appropriate to pick them around mid-September.

Walnut planting time and key points

1. Time: When planting walnuts, you must first choose the right time. Walnuts grow best in a warm and humid environment. Therefore, it is recommended to sow them in autumn every year. The climate is more suitable at this time, which can increase the survival rate of walnuts after sowing and enable them to grow vigorously.

2. Sowing: When planting walnuts, you can use the sowing method. Before sowing, you need to select seeds with full grains and no pests and diseases, soak them in warm water for half an hour for sterilization, and then evenly sow them into loose and fertile soil.

3. Watering: After the walnuts are sown, they need to be watered once a day to soak all the soil and allow the seeds to absorb enough water to germinate. After the walnut seeds germinate, the amount of watering needs to be reduced to keep the soil slightly moist to avoid excessive watering that may cause the walnuts to rot.

4. Maintenance: During the growth process of walnuts, they need to be provided with all-day sunshine so that the walnuts can carry out photosynthesis normally. In addition, fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are applied to the walnuts to increase the yield and fruiting rate of walnuts.
