Propagating walnut trees

There are two very good walnut trees in our field and I would like to propagate them. As far as I know is grafting of walnuts very difficult and requires special skills (which I do not have). So what about cuttings?

In the past three years they have been digging up masses of baby walnut trees from the shaddy mulch under the 2 trees, the walnuts got barried under the walnut tees years ago and apperantly it takes some time to sprout. If grafting don't work you could try the old fashion way.; ▶ Reply to This
