About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An old variety from the Hungarian Austrian region, known for its especially large, well shaped nuts. It grows strong and wide spreading, so it needs space, but rewards you with decorative fruits and a bright, well filled kernel. As with walnuts, you should plant a second variety for pollination.
The kernel is fine and mild in flavor, without intrusive tannins. A classic table and snack variety.
