What are the best nut trees to grow in the backyard or landscape?
The best nut trees to grow in the backyard are ones that will grow in your grow zone and fit your space. Some trees, like the Hardy Almond are smaller, growing 15-18 ft. tall, while other nut trees, like the butternut and hickory, grow quite large and also make excellent shade trees. Other considerations when choosing a nut tree to grow are its growth rate, habit, pollination requirements and the types of nuts it produces.
