This Walnut is a low-maintenance addition, suitable for large gardens and is often planted in fields and parks. The Apollo will do well in exposed and sheltered areas in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
Aftercare
The Apollo requires little maintenance. Prune to encourage the side shoots by removing the leader and any dead or crossed branches during spring and summer. Water only if the soil feels dry.
Size
After 10-20 years, the Apollo can reach a height of 8-12m with a 4-8m spread.
