Franquette
France
Seedling
Mid-October
One of the oldest and most well-known European walnut varieties – an old French cultivar cultivated since 1827, originating from the Grenoble region. Franquette remains one of the most widespread walnut varieties in Europe. The nuts are of excellent quality and produce high-quality oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids, making them highly nutritious, tasty, and healthy.
The kernel has a sweet, slightly bitter, aromatic flavor without bitterness, making it suitable for direct consumption.
Franquette produces medium-sized, oval nuts weighing 9–12 g, approximately 4.5 cm in height and 3.8 cm in width, with a pronounced pointed tip. The shell is medium-thick, slightly rough, easy to crack, and the kernel can be easily removed. The kernel is very light in color. Kernel yield is relatively low, ranging from 46 to 48%.

Franquette is highly frost-resistant and can be planted in exposed, windy sites. The tree shows good resistance to anthracnose and bacterial blight (more sensitive on acidic soils). It is generally resistant to late spring frost.
You can purchase seedlings of Walnut Franquette 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.
