Overview
The ultimate cold-hardy walnut that brings nut production to northern climates previously too harsh for English walnuts. Originally from the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Europe, these hardy trees can withstand temperatures down to -25°F while still producing quality nuts. Each tree grown from seed develops unique characteristics, making every Carpathian walnut tree a one-of-a-kind addition to cold-climate homesteads.
Planting
Direct sow nuts in fall for spring germination, or start indoors with cold stratification. Often grown from seed rather than grafted.
Growing
Sun: full. Water: moderate. Soil pH: 6–8. Space plants 360" apart. Germination: 45-90.
Pests & diseases
Common pests: Fewer pest issues in northern climates, occasional aphids and scale. Common diseases: Generally disease resistant, occasional walnut blight in humid conditions.
