They are hybrids of heartnuts (Juglans ailantifolia) and butternuts (Julglans cinerea). This is a nut for lovers of variation, experimentation, and novelty. If you're looking for a well-known tree with dependable yields and predictable qualities, this is not the tree for you. But if you're interested in breeding new varieties of hardy, vigorous nuts on the experimental end of the nutty spectrum, this may be the tree for you. The large hybrid gene pool means that seedlings will express a wide variety of attributes across the two species, including strangely-shaped nuts! Nuts will vary widely in their size, shape, and crackability. Trees will also vary in size, but plan for a \u003cem\u003every\u003c\/em\u003e vigorous (fast-growing) tree that reaches 40' at maturity. They may be partially self-fertile, but we recommend at least two trees to ensure the best crop. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenetics\u003c\/strong\u003e: This is a seedling from a buartnut at Gellatly nut farm in Kelowna, BC.

They do well on north- and east-facing slopes, and they like to be protected from high wind and frost. They will do best in full sun (at least six hours) but can tolerate partial shade (expect slower growth and reduction in yield). Avoid excessively gravelly or sandy soils (chestnuts or pine nuts would be better suited). Walnuts need ample moisture but they won’t tolerate long periods of standing water. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhy seedlings?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Growing seedlings from productive, vigorous parents helps maintain diversity (each seed is a new variety) while drawing on some of the best genetics for chestnuts in our bioregion. In other words, by planting seedlings, you are participating in the breeding and selection of new, regionally-adapted varieties! We’ve selected excellent parent stock, but we recommend planting several of these trees closer together and selecting your final tree once they've produced their first nuts (4-8 years). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy bare root?\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Bare root\" means that the tree has been grown in the ground (rather than in a pot). In general, bare root trees tend to have larger root systems because their roots aren't constricted by the edges of the pot. Because we don't need to use pots or potting soil, we can sell them more cheaply than potted trees. Bareroot trees must be planted when they are still dormant (Nov - Mar in our region).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nutcase Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67916783485113,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/4869\/4969\/products\/buartnuts-shelled-and-in-shell.jpg?v=1668128079","url":"https:\/\/nutcasenursery.com\/products\/buartnut-large-butternut-x-heartnut-seedling-bareroot-2-4-feet","provider":"Nutcase Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
