Black walnut 1-3 ft

Black walnuts make beautiful yard trees. Once the taproot is established trees can grow quickly. The rich, oily, high protein nuts feed people and wildlife alike. The nuts and leaves contain a compound that suppresses growth of certain other species, so keep black walnuts away from your garden and check compatibility with other trees or shrubs in your landscape. Black walnut is also cherished for high quality timber.

The smaller size trees tend to transplant better. As they are strongly taprooted, smaller plants recover faster and and up growing faster.
