Watering for Fernor walnut saplings should be reduced at the beginning of August. From August 1st, water volume should be decreased from 10 kg to 2.5 kg per tree to halt shoot growth. If watering continues in August, the shoots may suffer frost damage during winter. Fertilization should be done in spring with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers, while organic fertilizers should be added in autumn to enrich soil fertility.

Fernor walnut saplings should be planted in sunny and well-drained soils during March and April. Saplings should be spaced 7-8 meters apart, with planting holes dug to a depth of 70 cm and a width of 60 cm. The root collar should be placed 2-3 cm above ground level. After planting, ample watering should be provided, and mulching is recommended to retain soil moisture.
