Walnuts From Seed

Categories: Fruit Growing

There is a reliable nursery company selling seedling Franquette walnut

trees on a positive guarantee that they will come true to type. Are

orchards of this kind satisfactory?



Walnuts do come truer to the seed than almonds and other fruits and the

Franquette has a good reputation for remembering its ancestry. Until

recently practically all the commercial walnut product of California was

grown on seedling trees. But these facts hardly justify one in trusting

to seedlings in plantings now made. The way to get a walnut of the

highest type is to take a bud or graft from a tree which is bearing that

type.
