A Japanese walnut that tends to produce heart shaped nuts. Heartnuts are most closely related to butternuts, with whom they will readily cross pollinize. Heartnuts have an exotic appearence with compound leaves up to 3 feet long and unique, hanging strings of nuts, up to 20 per cluster. They grow quite rapidly as young trees and  become spreading with age. Best grown in the northern half of the country, as they are susceptible to walnut bunch disease. Resistant to bacterial blight. These are grown from seed, and there may be variation from one tree to the next.
