FROM RHORA’S NUT FARM AND NURSERY

Our experiences in growing nut trees now spans over 30 years, our experiments have shown that by growing seedlings of varieties, namely, heart nut, Carpathian walnut, Hazelnut (filbert trees) Chinese Chestnuts, American Chestnuts, Pecans and the edible Pines. Some named or numbered cultivars in these varieties will produce from seed, seedlings that are as good or even better than a grafted tree. It has shown that up to 60 to 70 percent of the seedlings will do this. This experiment now into the 3rd generation in some cases, that these seedlings produce at a very early age, size and shape of the shell to have the uniformity for cracking mechanically. These seedlings are very hardy and will grow in a wider variety of soils and even more hardy because they are on their own roots.

Two examples of selected superior trees which we will mention, are the Turkey tree hazelnut - from seed - it is stated up to 18 years before first crop - our first crop from seed to bearing age - 8 years. Korean pine - stated up to 15 years before first crop - our experience - from seed to production 7 years.

We will be happy to send those requesting a copy of the list of varieties, named or numbered, which as explained above has shown that seedlings of those selected should give you the same results we have. All of the seedlings are available at the same price, listed in this catalogue. Please note that some varieties are limited in quantity.
