NUT TREES  - WALNUTS

Usually grown as a 1/2 standard tree, they often grow to a size of 25' in about 20 years, so they are only suitable if you have room for them to grow. They prefer an open position that is sheltered from spring frosts to crop at their best. Any fertile soil with good drainage is suitable. Home grown nuts are vastly superior to the imported kiln-dried varieties.

JUGLANS REGIA (The Common Walnut)

A good crop of nuts is produced in most years once the trees are established. Excellent quality and flavour, self fertile.
PRICE 1 tree £24.95

JUGLANS NIGRA (The Black Walnut)

PRICE: 1 tree £24.95

HYBRID WALNUTS

BUCCANEER

A hybrid European variety that produces a heavy crop of high quality nuts. Self fertile with exceptional cropping capabilities.

RITA

A new introduction which combines compact, slow growth with a disproportionately heavy yield of flavoursome Walnuts. Proving self fertile, and, in common with the other hybrid cultivars starts to yield at a much earlier age than the common Walnut. A most attractive proposition indeed.

BROADVIEW

A hybrid variety from Germany. An excellent crop of exceptionally high quality nuts. Requires a pollinator such as Buccaneer or Franquette to be certain, but now thought to be self fertile.

FRANQUETTE

New introduction. Large fruits produced late in the season. Very high quality. Pollinate with either of the above. A superb variety.
