Juglans regia ‘Fernor’, Walnut tree, Height 100cm, 5 litre pot

The Juglans regia ‘Fernor’ is a modern, French walnut tree known for its excellent nut quality, late flowering time and high yield. That late flowering makes it particularly suited to cooler climates such as the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, where spring night frosts can often cause damage. This healthy, self-pollinating walnut forms a rich harvest of large, well-filled nuts with a deliciously mild, aromatic flavour at a young age.

‘Fernor’ grows into a medium-sized tree with a well-branched crown and dark green leaves that turn golden yellow in autumn. The nuts ripen in October and are easy to crack thanks to their thin shell. The kernel is pale, firm and has a full, slightly sweet flavour - perfect for eating fresh, baking or drying for long-term storage.

Although this tree is self-pollinating, yields can be further increased by adding a second variety such as Juglans regia ‘Franquette’ or Juglans regia ‘Lara’ to be planted nearby. ‘Fernor’ is also highly resistant to diseases such as bacterial burn and tolerates harsh winters down to -25°C.

For the best start, plant this walnut tree in a sunny, sheltered spot in nutritious, calcareous soil. Combine it in the garden with our Pistachio trees set (Pistacia vera) for a unique Mediterranean look and an even richer variety of edible nuts.
