After 5 years we’ve finally filled our orchard and even extended a bit by expanding our collection of other Juglans and Carya cultivated nuts with more Heartnuts and Butternuts and Northern Pecans.

Now we just need to carefully manage them and hope we don’t have too many difficult years like this one.

A full list of all our Walnut cultivars and the other nuts is now on our Trees & Trials page.

I’m sure we’ll add a few more trials if we can get hold of them and we have space. In the meantime we will carefully document each variety through the year so we have a good database so that in the future decisions can be taken on cultivar selection based on solid data.

Have you got the space to grow your own healthy walnuts for future Christmas’s.  We still have grafted walnut trees for sale so you can have your own, we also have Heartnuts, Hicans and Northern Pecans!

We’ve  now got our first batch trees, mostly walnuts but also a small amount of Heartnuts, Hicans and a Buartnut.

We’ve also taken delivery of some more trial varieties if Walnut and a few new Heartnuts but the really interesting  trees are some butternut and some northern pecans.  De Smallekamp have these growing and fruiting in the Netherlands and we’re very hopeful we will be able to do the same!

We’ve just received our delivery from Holland and now have stock of trees.  These have all been grafted this spring and are in 2L pots (shortly to re-potted), generally between 30-60cm high.

We have a dozen different walnuts including Red Kernels & Giant nuts along with Dwarf trees, Heartnuts, Buartnuts & Hicans ansd most trees are new to the UK but growing in Europe.  Details to follow shortly.
