About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A proven German selection from Geisenheim, whose moderate growth often avoids late frosts and thus reliably bears fruit. It produces large, well-filled nuts with a light kernel and is a side‑bearing variety that is productive even at a young age. Because it opens its flowers at a different time, you best pair it with a second walnut as a pollinator.
You will find the kernel mild and full‑bodied, without bitterness, with a fine sweet aftertaste. Freshly cracked, it is especially aromatic.
