All our nut trees are grown from seeds. Since they are all genetically different there is no pollination problem (they need a pollinator). Nut trees love a rich clayish loam, but well drained. The exception is the hazelnut without any large taproot, which prefers light well-drained soils but grow in clay as well.

Space walnut trees and korean pines 12 meters apart, hazelnuts are OK with 1-2 meters. Walnut trees will need 7 to 10 years to produce nuts, hazelnuts 3 to 5 years. 

	BUARTNUT  6 inches tall (20$) SOLD OUT! sorry The buartnut is a cross between a butternut and a Japanese walnut tree. The fast growing tree can be 25 meters high and 20 meters large. It is more disease resistant than the butternut. The nut is easier to shell and is somewhat looking like a mix of both parents. Harvest from mid-September to early October. A very popular nut tree because of its fast growth.  (Zone 4)
	BUTTERNUT  6 inches to one foot tall (15$ each) ; 1 foot-2 feet tall (20$) The only Juglans (walnut family) tree really native to Quebec, the very large and beautiful tropical looking tree can be 25 meters high and 8 meters large. The large nuts are encased in an oily very aromatic shell, hence their name. Butternuts are the best cooking nuts of the family. Needs a deep rich soil in a sunny spot. Better pollination as usual with more than one tree. Will give nuts in zone 3 but can survive in zone 2.
	BLACK WALNUT 6 inches to one foot tall (15$ each) ; 1 foot-2 feet tall (20$) Our most precious north american hardwood is also bearing delicious walnuts. The fast growing tree can be 30 meters high and 10 meters large. Needs a sunny spot. The perfumed smooth and round nut shell is highly aromatic, even more than the butternut. The true nut is sweet and spicy. It is also used as a medicinal plant. Has antifungal properties. The tree can survive in zone 3 but needs at least zone 4 to produce nuts. Our trees have been grown here, in zone 4. Also a valuable hardwood, could be grown for wood or nuts.
	BEAKED HAZELNUT   18 inches -3 feet tall (20$) Our native hazelnut and also the hardiest. Can tolerate some shadow but prefers full sun. It is a 3 meter high bush; it needs a pollinator, so you need at least 2. (Zone 2)
	Hybrid Euro-american HAZELNUT  1 to 2 feet (15$) ; 2 to 3 feet (20$) The very hardy but small-fruited American hazelnut has been crossed to the much less hardy European one that has big nuts. The result is a hardy nut tree producing nuts double the size of our native ones but still hardy, providing us with the best of both worlds. Bushy 3-4 meters high, with nuts similar to the commercial ones. Needs a pollinator. One-year-old seedlings are about 6 inches high.  (Zone 3)
	HICKORY    (carya ovata)  4 to 6 inches tall (20$ each) Native to Quebec but now very rare, its hard and dense wood was used to make tool handles and furniture. Used extensively in smoking, it imparts an exceptional taste to food. The huge tree can be more than 30 meters high, The very unique bark often self peels in very long vertical strips. The roots of hickory are exceptionally long and strong, a one foot high seedling has 3 feet roots. In the spring, the bulging leaf buds look like flowers. Always sold as a young tree in the trade because of the size of the roots. Can live up to 200 years. The delicious nut is somewhat similar to a pecan. All our trees have been grown in zone 4 .Can survive in zone 3 but will produce in zone 4.
	KOREAN PINE       6 inches tall (20$) The short 2-year-old 10-cm seedling will grow slowly for 5 years then explode in growth and can reach 30 meters. Similar to white pine but with huge kernels the size of a pistachio, 70 of them per cone. Superior to the commercial pivnons. Likes a semi-shaded area. (Zone 3)
	NATIVE WHITE OAK 2-year-old (1 foot tall) 20$ each. Qty 20 + = 10$ each Native to Quebec but now so rare it is protected, it was used both in boat and furniture building.

The bright green leaves turn to violet/red in the fall. Prefers deep rich moist as  well as drained soils. Our one year old seedlings are 4 to 6 inches high.
