About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
This Geisenheim selection ripens late, making it well suited for sites where late frosts would otherwise spoil your harvest. The nuts are large, thin-shelled and easy to crack, and the kernel fills the shell well. As a predominantly outcrossing variety, it thanks you to a pollinator such as ‚Geisenheim 26’ nearby, which yields fuller crops.
The kernel has a strong nut aroma and remains flavorful even after drying. Ideal for baking and for your pantry.
