Cape Fear trees are vigorous growers and can reach heights of 60 to 75 feet with a spread of 40 to 75 feet. They have a dense, upright habit with dark green leaves. The trees begin to bear nuts at a young age, and full production can be expected within 5-7 years of planting.
Cape Fear nuts are large and well-filled, with a thin shell and a golden kernel. The nuts have a rich, nutty flavor and are delicious eaten fresh or used in baking and cooking.
Cape Fear trees are relatively low-maintenance. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are drought-tolerant once established, but they will benefit from regular watering during the first year after planting. Fertilize Cape Fear trees once a year in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.

We cannot ship certain plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by the California Department of Agriculture.
Bare Root Plants: the plant is shipped with the roots taken out of the pot/ground, and the roots are then wrapped in moist paper, with or without soil. The roots wrapped in moist medium is then covered with some kind of plastic to hold the moisture. The paper with moisture will keep the plant alive, during the journey. The plants, once received, the roots should be given a soak for 30 minutes and planted immediately.
