This recent introduction from Oregon State University features attractive, compact growth habit, good crops of large and delicious nuts, and total resistance to Eastern Filbert Blight. Yamhill’s high productivity has made it popular with commercial growers. Plant with Jefferson or Gamma for cross-pollination.
One of the newest selections from the Oregon State U. breeding program, Dorris is one of the most compact Filbert varieties and a great variety for the home orchard. Dorris bears good crops of particularly flavorful nuts, which are great for fresh eating, roasting and baking. Plant with Jefferson for cross pollination.
Another excellent Chilean myrtle that is not seen as often in North America as Luma apiculata but is a close relative of that plant and in many ways very similar. Often referred to as Luma blanca, or the White Chilean Myrtle, Luma chequen is grows in drier areas than Luma apiculata making it a bit more drought tolerant. White flowers and dark purple fruits taste similar to Luma apiculata and cold hardiness seems similar as well. Protect from those subfreezing winds.
We are so excited to introduce a Chilean Nut tree bundle with two types of evergreen nut trees! Now you can enjoy growing these unique trees outside in zones 8 and up.
