The Franquette Walnut produces only on apical shoots and has a moderate need for cold, so in Italy it is recommended in the Center - North and in the South only in the coldest areas. In case you want to obtain both productions (fruit and wood), it is advisable to annually provide balanced fertilizations (both organic and mineral) and ensure regular water availability during the vegetative cycle Flowering is very abundant which is why it is used as a pollinator for many other walnut cultivars and is late in order to avoid spring frosts. The fruit has a more elongated shape and has an average weight of 11-13 grams.

The second walnut pruning is also done to favor the central shoot. The pruning operations of the walnut described above must also be repeated in the second year, until the tree has reached the height where to form the scaffolding, about 2.5 meters from the ground. From the third year of cultivation the pruning interventions will have to be more contained, in fact you will have to limit yourself to removing the nerds, dead branches and badly inserted branches.
