When is the best time to pick walnuts?
Regarding the picking time of walnuts, there are some folk sayings, such as "walnuts are beaten with white dew, pears are mixed with autumn wind" and "white dew falls when it reaches walnuts".
This shows that the usual picking time of walnuts is around one thousand years. However, due to the variety and geographical reasons, the harvest time of walnuts is not consistent.
For example, some early-maturing varieties began picking in late July, and some late-maturing varieties were postponed to the middle of 10. Due to the climate difference between north and south, the harvesting time of the same variety will be different in different regions. Therefore, the specific picking time also varies with varieties and regions.
