Chandler
USA
Seedling
Late September – Early October
Chandler is an American walnut variety developed by the University of California in 1979, named after Prof. William Chandler. In recent years, Chandler has become the most desirable walnut variety for new orchards due to its high productivity and excellent kernel quality. It is also characterized by high yields on lateral branches, making it the most economically profitable walnut variety to cultivate. Chandler walnuts are currently among the most sought-after varieties in Europe. Nut color, thin shell, and kernel quality are key traits affecting market price. The nuts are popular worldwide, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, due to their high content of Omega-3 fatty acids and proteins.
The kernel has an excellent flavor.
Chandler produces large nuts with thin shells and very light kernels. Lighter-colored nuts fetch higher prices. The kernel is easy to remove from the shell and splits easily into halves. The nuts measure 32–36 mm in diameter and weigh 13–14 g. The shell is smooth, thin, and oval. Kernel yield ranges from 48–50%, providing high production. Nuts are produced in clusters.
Partially self-pollinating. Good pollinators: Franquette, Fernette.
Vegetation starts very late, avoiding late spring frosts.
You can purchase seedlings of Walnut Chandler at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
