nut trees

Walnut grove inhabitants

Nut trees are trees that produce edible nuts—walnuts, almonds, pecans, chestnuts, hazelnuts.

The term appears most often in agricultural and gardening contexts, distinguishing these from fruit trees or ornamentals: We planted several nut trees along the property line.

Some continue bearing for generations.
