Walnut 'Parisienne'

A vigorous, hardy, late leafing variety, resistant to both walnut blight and leaf blotch. Protandrous. Fairly large, conical nuts. An old French variety; which has been the best and most consistent producer for us in Devon. 

Protect young trees from wind with a nurse plant, such as Broom. Flower group B.

Why seedlings? Growing seedlings from productive, vigorous parents helps maintain diversity (each seed is a new variety) while drawing on some of the best walnut genetics. In other words, by planting and growing out these trees, you are participating in the breeding new, regionally-adapted walnut varieties! The parents of these seedlings were selected for producing hardy, vigorous, productive, high-quality nuts. We recommend planting several of these trees closer together and selecting your final tree once they've produced their first nuts (4-8 years) so that you can select the most productive trees with the highest-quality nuts.
