Selected Black Walnuts, English Walnuts and Heartnuts.
Timber Black - This variety grows with amazing speed once established, up to 5 to 6 ft. a year. It has a beautiful upright form, with timber harvest age in half the time that a seedling tree would take to reach sawlog size. Very productive of small sized, thick shelled nuts. Self fertile.
Cascade English - Manregian x Russian. Thin shell, excellent flavor, plump, light colored kernels. Fast growing, large tree. These are cold hardy seedlings of J. regia which can be grown throughout much of North America. The parent tree has medium large nuts with up to 56% kernel. Zone 4-9.
Chambers - A vigorous tree with high yields. It has very good overall nut quality. Northwest selection.
Chandler English - Highly productive University of California at Davis release. Medium-large, plump, light colored kernels of outstanding quality. Well sealed shells, yet easy to crack. Late blooming to escape spring frosts. It is the number one new variety in California. Zone 6-9.
Chopaka English - Exceptionally hardy selection of Russian Walnut. Very precocious and heavy bearing of mid sized nuts with a strong flavor. It is a compact tree. Self-fruitful.
Franquette - Old French variety with medium-large elongated nuts of good flavor. Especially popular in areas prone to late frost, or blossom rot in springtime, as it is very late to break dormancy and start blooming. Somewhat self-fertile, pollinating with Chandler can increase yield. Zone 6-9.
Canoka Heartnut - AKA White Walnut. Japanese walnut with a thick shelled but easily crackable, usually heart-shaped nut, sweet, oily and mild, with no bitter aftertaste characteristic of most walnuts. It is a large nut, averaging 110 - 170 to a kilo. The tree bears heavy crops annually, though it requires a relatively long growing season to fully ripen the nuts. The tree comes into growth 1 - 2 weeks later than most other cultivars and so often escapes damage from late frosts. Trees are fast growing with huge compound leaves, beautiful and hardy.
Cowlitz Heartnut - It is a heartnut x butternut hybrid.
Ebert Heartnut - Classic heart shaped shell, productive. These have large clusters.
Idaho Carpathian English - Large, sweet, good quality nuts. Late blooming to escape spring frosts. It is vigorous, productive and hardy. Zone 4 - 8.
