World's most widely planted commercial walnut: light kernel, late leafing, high lateral-bearing yields.

🇺🇸 USA 1979

Taste & characteristics

mildnutty

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Medium, well-filled nut with a very light, easily removable kernel and a thin, well-sealed shell; premium fresh-market quality.

Moderate vigour with strong lateral bearing; late leafing reliably escapes spring frosts.

Very early cropping and high, regular yields thanks to lateral-bud fruiting.

Partly self-fertile; Franquette, Fernette or Cisco serve as pollinizers. Prone to sunburn under high light exposure.
