Cheap price of a walnut of fruiting types
Why can walnuts that can bear fruit cost cheaper? This question worries many gardeners and novice owners of small plots of land, dreaming of their own crops of delicious and healthy nuts. The fact is that the cost of such trees is not the same and depends on several factors.
Factors affecting the price of fruiting seedlings
Firstly, an important role is played by a variety of walnuts. Some varieties are more productive and faster than others. Seedrs of such varieties, of course, can cost a little more. However, there are other, less productive varieties, which, however, are perfect for small areas and can offer a rather decent crop. The prices for them, respectively, will be lower. It is also worth paying attention to the age of the seedling. Young seedlings, of course, will cost cheaper than grown up, which are already ready for fruiting, but, as a rule, bring a more stable crop in a shorter time.
Quality and characteristics of seedlings
It is important to understand that cheap does not always mean badly. The low price can be caused, for example, by the size of the seedling, its health and the presence of damage. It happens that the seedling is slightly less than we would like, but with proper care and the corresponding climate, he will perfectly take root and begins to bear fruit. It is necessary to pay attention to the health of the plant, the presence of damage, such as rot or parasites. Often, sellers offer seedlings with minimal defects at lower prices. This is quite normal, because the main thing is that the tree is healthy and has potential for fruiting. Learn in detail the characteristics of a particular variety: optimal growth conditions, degree of resistance to frost, diseases and pests.
How to choose suitable seedlings
When choosing walnut seedlings at a bargain price, you should not ignore the recommendations of experienced gardeners. Visit specialized garden centers where there is an opportunity to chat with sellers. They will be able to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of different varieties, as well as advise on seedlings care issues. Feel free to ask questions about the origin of seedlings, their health and potential. Pay attention to how the seedling looks: it should be strong, with a developed root system, and not overdried or damaged. A careful inspection is the key to a successful purchase.
