Butternut Stratified Seed (UNAVAILBLE for 2025 season)

Sold in packs of 20 seeds in damp wood shavings. Our seed is collected locally from very productive hybrid butternuts. It is currently in stratification and orders placed now will ship in late March.

Butternut, also known as the white walnut, is prized for its rich, tasty nut meat. Pure butternuts are susceptible to butternut canker, which has greatly reduced the native, wild population. Butternuts hybridize with Japanese walnuts very easily and produce trees that often look and function very similarly to pure butternuts, but with resistance to the canker. They are beautiful spreading trees. They prefer deep fertile soil, but can be grown in drier and rockier conditions as well.  They are shade intolerant. Hardy down to zone 4.

Our inventory is an estimate and orders will be filled in the order they were received. Should we run out of stock before your order is filled we will issue a full refund.
