Siverskiy Walnut

Unfortunately, it so happened that there are no varieties of the English walnut that would be recommended for cultivation in the northern part of Ukraine.

The Siverskiy Walnut Project is designed to find and implement such varieties. Such varieties can be of interest to both orchardists who plant walnut orchards in northern Ukraine and orchardists who plant orchards in more southern regions. In the latter case, the walnuts trees originating from the north of Ukraine may show better frost resistance than their more southern relatives.

In the course of the search three promising varieties were found, which we named according to the place of growth of the mother trees: (i) Baturynskiy, (ii) Konotopskiy and (iii) Bakhmatskiy.

According to the results of the all-Ukrainian contest "The best walnut of Ukraine in 2021", the Baturynskiy variety was recognized by the Ukrainian Nut Association as one of the best walnuts for growing in the northern region of Ukraine.
