Juglans ailantifolia 'Cordiformis', commonly known as Heartnut, is a remarkable cultivar derived from the Japanese walnut, celebrated for its unique heart-shaped nuts. This distinctive feature not only adds visual charm but also practical benefits, as the shells crack easily to reveal sweet, mild-flavored, heart-shaped nuts without the bitterness often found in other walnut varieties. Ideal for zones 5-9, this fast-growing, deciduous tree is characterized by large, tropical-looking pinnate leaves and a wide-spreading canopy, reaching heights of 20-30 feet with a similar spread, and occasionally up to 60 feet wide at full maturity.

Heartnuts thrive in full sun with well-drained, humus-rich soils, offering a stunning landscape addition with its ornamental foliage. Although self-pollinating, optimal nut yield occurs when multiple trees are planted. Perfect for both commercial orchards and home gardens, these trees ensure bountiful harvests of easy-to-crack nuts, providing a delicious, healthful treat. Elevate your garden with the Heartnut tree's blend of beauty, functionality, and unique charm.
