Buartnut Tree

This Buartnut tree is a cross between a Heartnut and a Butternut tree.
Growing to a height of 50 feet in some cases.
Trees can be pruned to take on one leader.
But if left unattended it can branch out in a shrub like formation but 50 feet high.
Amazing right?

The Heartnut was introduced from Japan over 100 years ago as one of the best nut tree species.
The Butternut is a New Brunswick native tree, which thrives in swampy and cold climates.
The Buartnut tree has taken on the best qualities of these 2 trees and is very cold hardy and thrives in all types of soils.
It also has luxurious, almost tropical foilage, the buartnut provides a dense shade, yet grass still grows under it.
Buartnuts, along with other members of the japanese walnut species, thrives in both clay and sandy soils.
Nut tree experts describe it as a “veritable goat in it’s feeding habits, making it a rapid grower.”
