Projected Walnut Yields

The progression of a walnut orchard in optimal conditions

The Process

The walnut tree is slow species to reach its maximum production, but with the climate, irrigation, management, and materials in optimal conditions, 2-3 years can be saved. See how to achieve a profitable orchard:

Planting to Year 1:

There are two goals to be achieved:

  1. Avoid plant deaths.
  2. The trunk should develop to about 6 ft. (2 m.) in length.

Years 1 to 3:

In these years plant structure is prioritized, training it to branch out laterally without sacrificing longitudinal growth.

  • Yields of 330-550 lbs. per acre plot
  • Yields of 300-500 kg. per hectare plot

Years 3 to 6:

In these years there is a crosslinking of increases in yields and structural increments in the plants.

  • Yields of around 1320 lbs. per acre plot.
  • Yields of around 1200 kg. per hectare plot.

After the 6th or 7th Year:

The plants should have sufficient structures of secondary branches, feature tertiary branches lengthwise throughout, and reach 16-20 ft. (5-6 m.) in height.

Mature plants should achieve yields of around 33 lbs. (15 kg.) per plant as a base, which translates aproximately to:

  • Yields of 4500 lbs. per acre plot.
  • Yields of 5000 kg. per hectare plot.
This is the way to a profitable orchard. Although this timeline could be considered conservative with respect to the yields that are projected, it is important to note that yields in any particular year are dependent on the weather and a number of other factors.
