Walnut seedlings

We offer walnut seedlings from selected nuts, which guarantee you outstanding quality.

Our seedlings are both suitable for direct planting and as rootstocks for the grafting process!

If your main focus is not the production of nuts but more so a less intensive plantation for timber production or an integration of Juglans regia into a healthy forest, our walnut seedlings are the right choice!

Surely investment costs for walnut plants are very little compared to walnut timber yields which can be expected after 30-50 years. Even though the costs for walnut seedlings are very low, the quality of the seedlings and the root system need to be very good in order to reach high success rates.

The timber which can be harvested after a few decades is one of the most expensive timbers, with its beautiful colors and is used in many fields, for example for luxurious furniture.
