Description:
Buccaneer walnut is a Dutch variety suitable for growing on flatlands of Central Europe. It is is both self-fertile and precocious producing large round nuts of good quality and taste from the age of about four years. Later the crops become abundant. A self-fertile cultivar, it produces pollen over a long period and is thus a valuable pollinator for other cultivars. The tree is about the same size as a seedling walnut, it comes into leaf very late and so usually avoids damage by late frosts. It grows to a fairly vigorous upright tree with narrow high open canopy. It is suitable for larger gardens and avenues. They ripen in the 2-nd or 3-rd week of September. Cropping is good and the nuts are particularly suitable for pickling. The tree itself is resistant against bacterial diseases and also well frost hardy.
