Many would think so but The Walnut Fund, a new and innovative crowdfunded – style investment platform, offers investors the opportunity to invest in walnut trees and enjoy the benefits that this asset class brings, while at the same time not having to do any gardening!

With current market prices of around 2.5$ / kg of in-shell walnuts, a single tree can produce anywhere between 70 and 100$ on an annual basis.

Secondly, the value of your investment grows on an annual basis, more precisely the trees themselves once planted appreciate in value every year.

Walnut wood stock, whether it’s intended for furniture stock or heating purposes at the end of the walnut trees’ economic lifecycle can be worth multiple times more than the initial investment. Providing investors with sanctuary for their hard earned money!

Of course, every investment has its downfalls, and the disadvantage of investing in walnut tees is the wait. For the first 3 years, the tree must mature and developed. Starting year four the trees enter their productive period and can be exploited for the next 40 years. Providing for a perfect source of passive income!
