The english/carpathian/persian Walnut has so many names across so many cultures because this nut tree has been bred and selected upon for thousands of years. These are the walnuts you are used to seeing the grocery store. They produce a delicious healthy nut in easy to shell walls that can sometimes be crushed by the palm of a strong hand (or a simple hand nutcracker).

Our seedstock was obtained from healthy old trees throughout the interior of British Columbia including the famous nut breeder Jack Gellatly and other sources with trees well over 80 years old. The English walnut is quite possibly the most adaptable full size nut tree known to temperate climates. Grows well in fertile well draining calcium rich soil, but makes due in modest mountain soils or marginal sites with decent sun.
