Our regionally adapted English walnut Moberg seedlings worthy of your yard or orchard.
We are making available Three-year-old trees. We dig with a tree spade and or a backhoe They are so big.
You too can grow healthy tasty "English" walnuts. We commonly called them "English" walnuts and they are sometimes call "Persian" walnuts (Juglans regia). Nurseries have been selling them for almost 80 years regionally.
In our search for regionally adapted English walnut trees we started out 25 years ago by planting over 600 trees. After 25 years we have only six trees left from the original plantings and one we feel is worth propagating. In parallel have been on the hunt for regionally adapted selections. We believe we have found another tree worthy of propagating. Why do we believe in it? When we have a harsh winter, non-hardy English walnuts have the tips burned back on last years growth. The Moberg seedlings grow without any burn back in our orchard. It is better than 600 seedlings we planted from many different lineages.
The mother tree we call Moberg, is all alone in a yard on a hilly location. The mother tree is self-pollinating as no other type of walnut can be found within 1000 feet of it. It produces almost every year and over a 55 gallon barrels worth of nuts. It has over 50% kernel with a slightly sweet, and less bitter (a.k.a. tannin) then you often find in your grocery store. It is in a very windy USDA zone 5b location similar to our zone 5a/b nursery. English walnuts need a soil pH of 6.5 to 7.5 and prefer deep gravel loam. Grows upwards of 60 feet tall when mature and makes a very good shade tree. An orchard full of the mother trees could make a very good commercial orchard and is why we are bringing it to you. We know it is good in USDA zone 5b and if you are willing, please try in 5a or 4b!
We have customers reporting they get nuts in their first year! This won't happen too often but it does happen.
These are seedlings we started in our greenhouse late winter and are typically 60" to 80” tall and can be much taller.
