Walnut harvest usually begins in the southern and central valleys in early September and the northern regions in early October. The walnuts are ready to be harvested when the green outer hull splits exposing the nut. At this time, many walnuts have already dropped from the trees to the orchard floor. Nuts that have not dropped naturally are then mechanically shaken from the tree.
There are six types of walnut trees in the United States, each having a specific geographical distribution. Walnut trees have long been valued for their fine-grained wood and the delicious nuts they produce. The American walnut trees differ in such features as height, the appearance of their leaves and the size of the walnut the flowers eventually turn into.
