They need winter chill to sprout, this is called stratifying. You can plant your walnuts a couple inches underground right now. Or you can put them in a moist paper towel in a baggie in the refrigerator for the winter. This will prevent squirrels from getting them. Then plant them in the spring when squirrels are less of a problem. RScott

What kind of walnuts, where do you live?
If North American black walnuts and you live in an area that gets winter, simply plant a fresh walnut in a pot with soil, sink the pot into the ground and cover with metal screening and straw to prevent squirrels from stealing the nuts. Leave in the ground over the winter. They will germinate in the spring.

Yes, water it a lot. And don't plan on moving to another house within about 20 years. Because thats how long walnut trees take to grow tall and grow walnuts. Good luck. :)

If we are talking about English walnuts, you are apt to be disappointed. English walnuts are English walnut stock, grafted onto black walnut roots.
