Varieties of Walnut
Which variety suits you depends on site, space and taste. Here are the Walnut varieties with their particulars.
- ‘Esterházy II’An old variety from the Hungarian Austrian region, known for its especially large, well shaped nuts.
- ‘Franquette’You will notice that the French classic from the Isère Valley sprouts very late and is among the most frost‑resistant walnuts overall.
- ‘Geisenheim 139’This Geisenheim selection ripens late, making it well suited for sites where late frosts would otherwise spoil your harvest.
- ‘Geisenheim 26’A proven German selection from Geisenheim, whose moderate growth often avoids late frosts and thus reliably bears fruit.
- ‘Weinsberg 1’A variety selected in Weinsberg for growing in Württemberg, which protects itself from late frosts by leafing out late.
