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.
The size at which a walnut tree should be harvested depends on its log quality and growing site quality. A high-quality tree on a good site may be left to grow larger than 24 inches in diameter. A low-quality tree or one on a poor-quality site may be harvested when it's less than 16 inches in diameter.
