Features of the walnut variety "Ideal"

Benefits of the variety

Everyone, of course, has an idea about the appearance of a walnut. It is a powerful deciduous tree with fairly well developed roots. Small, medium or large fruits grow on it, which, after drying and ripening, tend to crack. The shape of the nuts themselves directly depends on the variety. They are oval, and oval-oblong, and oblong-compressed from two sides, and round.

Experienced gardeners know that walnut seedlings of this species become capable of bearing fruit in the second year after planting. But these will be only trial volumes of harvests, since the real ones can actually be obtained for 4 - 5 years.

The variety is well suited for growing in central Russia. The peculiarities of the climate there suggest the presence of a hot summer with a minimum amount of precipitation in one year, and frosts in another. Trees of this beautiful species endure all the proposed weather conditions. Large fruits usually appear on them, located in brushes of 15 - 17 pieces. Each nut has a thin shell. The core in it makes up a maximum of 60% of the total mass and can be easily removed from the middle. Like every garden culture, the Ideal walnut has its own clear advantages, for which it is so loved by gardeners.

These include the early fruiting period (from 2 years old, subject to normal care), the ability to easily tolerate low temperatures in winter, and give a good harvest even during periods of drought and excessive heat. Mature trees tend to maintain bushiness, which allows them to be grown on small plots of land. Even if you cannot constantly care for your favorite crop, this nut can do with the minimum necessary conditions.

Landing scheme

Of course, you can harvest the fruits without creating special conditions for the nut. But in order to ensure a high degree of yield, it is recommended to adhere to certain rules.

For planting it, you should choose moist carbonate loamy soil. It is best not to plan for a wetland planting near which groundwater is located. In order to improve the structure of the soil, it is recommended to add a lot of manure in combination with ash. This should be done at the rate of 2 glasses of ash per bucket of manure.

It is necessary to dig a hole, the depth of which will be about 80 cm, and mix the soil obtained from it with top dressing. Remember that walnuts, in particular the Ideal variety, are very sensitive to a possible transplant from their usual place. It can adversely affect its growth and development. Correct planting is carried out with a distance between crops of at least 5 meters. If you plan to plant on a slope, be sure to leave a distance of 3.5 meters between the trees. This variety has a highly developed root system.

In the case of disembarkation near buildings, it can even cause the destruction of the foundation. The correct planting scheme involves placing the seedling at a depth of about 40 cm. In this case, the roots located on the side must be placed vertically, sprinkling with earth on top. It is better to bury the upper roots 6 - 7 cm.

After planting, it remains only to promote the normal growth of the culture. One of the points of competent care is to replace the earth around the tree at a distance of the diameter of its crown. It will need to be obtained, combined with top dressing and returned.

Do not fertilize too often and in large quantities. Otherwise, it is really possible to weaken the nut's ability to withstand winter cold.

Cultivation area

Judging by the reviews of experienced gardeners, such a walnut pleases with abundant harvests regardless of the growing area, be it Russia, Ukraine or Belarus.

Statistics say that even in the Moscow region it is quite possible to get up to 120 kg of selected fruits from each tree, regardless of whether the summer was dry. This is due to the fact that the flowering period of the variety falls in March, when it is already quite warm in this region. Therefore, possible frosts cannot harm an adult culture. By September - October, the fruits have time to fully ripen. The owners of plots in the Chernozem region, who manage to grow more whimsical varieties of walnut, also choose Ideal for planting on their backyard territory.

The nut grows well in those areas where the average annual temperature is above +10 degrees, and in the warmest month the air has time to warm up to a maximum of +25. As the experience of many gardeners shows, often in the middle lane, many nuts simply do not have time to ripen normally.
