Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) - Zone 3b

Juglans nigra - The black walnut is one of the trees with the most potential for nut cultivation in Quebec's climate. It is sought after for the establishment of nut orchards, shelterbelts and the enrichment of woodlot.

Petite-Nation selection These seedlings come from an open-pollinated selection of the best walnut trees we've evaluated in Petite-Nation. Although tasty, the nuts from this selection are smaller than commercial nuts. They come from a line of productive parents in zone 3b. Ideal for colder regions and forest plantations.

Commercial black walnut orchard selection These seedlings come from a commercial walnut orchard in zone 4b. The mother trees are therefore the best-performing cultivated varieties (Spark 127, Emma K, Sparrow, etc.). These seedlings are ideal for producing high-quality walnuts. They are likely to be the mother trees of the next selections of Quebec cultivated varieties.

Black walnut #2: These seedlings come from a mix of all our seed sources. Unfortunately, some young trees have slight defects (slightly curved trunk, root damage, slight crown drop). They are nevertheless guaranteed, but will require more attention during their first years of life (pruning, fertilizing, watering).
