'Monmouth' is a high-yielding, moderately vigorous cultivar with a slightly spreading growth habit and excellent EFB tolerance. It produces round kernels, 12-14mm in diameter with an average weight of 1.19g, comprised of a respectably high 52% kernel by weight.
Regarding pollination, 'Monmouth' has S-alleles 1 and 12 with both expressed in the pollen. Pollination partners include 'Raritan', 'Somerset', 'Gene' Photon, NITKA, The Beast and 'Grand Traverse'. It blooms in the early part of the season in New Jersey.
Nuts typically drop 1st-2nd week of September and trees can reach over 20 feet tall at 15 years. The shells are light-brown to medium-brown and the nuts fall in the husk and free from the husk, usually during the 1st half of September. Easily harvested with a harvester or removed by hand once partially dried, 'Monmouth' is protected by US Plant Patent PP32,462.
