We believe that each walnut sapling we ship to our clients represents our company.
We plant tons of walnuts seeds to become our rootstocks. When our walnut seedlings complete one year of growth, we graft them with superior walnut tree varieties using patch budding technique. It is considered the most successful grafting technique for walnut trees.
We grow our walnut saplings for another year and they become ready for sale when they are two years old. In November, we start taking them out of soil using special machinery to preserve the quality of their root system.
Upon the request of our clients, we are able to organize transportation of the trees to their country. We work with trusted logistics companies to deliver the trees via truck, air freight or sea freight.
Planting an orchard is a decision you live with for thirty years. These are the four things our customers tell us mattered most when they chose where to buy.
Every tree we sell is grafted by our own team onto Juglans regia rootstock, which is chosen for its tolerance to blackline disease. A Chandler you order from us is a Chandler. Our agricultural engineers inspect the fields routinely, and every batch is certified for quality by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture.
Trees are lifted bare-root and moved straight into our cold storage, where they stay dormant with their roots wet until spring. That is what lets us deliver in good condition to countries where spring arrives late, instead of shipping trees that have already broken bud in transit.
We invite customers to walk the fields before they order, and many do. If you cannot travel, ask us for photographs of the specific block your trees will come from. We would rather you saw the trees than took our word for them.
We attend University of California walnut programmes to keep up with the research, and we pass it on. Tell us your altitude, your climate and your soil and we will tell you honestly whether Chandler or Fernor suits your land -- including when the answer is that our trees are not right for it.
We believe that success can only come from long term relationships with our customers. For this reason, we ensure that the species of trees we sell are true to their names. We work with our experienced grafting team to achieve everlasting trees. We invite our customers to our fields for them to see quality of our trees. And we assist them in every step from choosing the best walnut tree variety to shipping. When we take our seedlings off the ground, we bring them to our cold storage facility and store our seedlings there to keep their roots wet until spring. This allows us to deliver seedlings to countries where spring comes late, and to ensure best quality in our seedlings.
We know that planting a tree is a years long investment. We do everything to bring our customers the best walnut trees. Our agriculture engineers check our seedlings routinely for health and productivity. All of our seedlings are certificated by Turkish Ministry of Agriculture for their quality.
At Waltree Nursery, we combine our 34 years of experience with most up-to-date knowledge. We attend University of California education programs to follow the latest developments about walnut trees. This way, we always have the most recent and accurate information about walnut production and growth. We share these best practices with our clients to ensure that they get the most yield from their orchards and maximize their return on investment.
We have exported walnut saplings to 35 countries, from Portugal to Nepal. If yours is on one of these lists we have shipped there before, we know what its plant health service asks for, and we can tell you what the documents and the freight will look like before you commit to anything.
| Market | Countries |
|---|---|
| Main markets in the EU | Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain |
| Main markets outside the EU | Georgia, India, Moldova, Russia |
| Also exported to | Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovakia, South Africa, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan |
We can export to countries in Europe and Asia that are not on these lists, and we do most seasons. What decides it is not the distance but whether your country will let the trees in and whether the order fills enough of a truck to be worth sending -- so ask rather than assume. One thing is worth knowing early: some countries require an import permit that only you, as the importer, can apply for, and a few of those take months.
Our own fields and facilities in Bandirma. Click any photograph to enlarge it.
This week we have started grafting our 1 year old walnut seedlings. We produce and graft our saplings at our own 15 hectares fields, in the city of Bandirma. We use the scion buds that we take from our own mother trees to graft our new seedlings. This way, we ensure that our seedlings are 100% true to their name.
We have started taking reservations and orders for November 2020. Watch our video to see our walnut trees that we will be selling this November. We recorded this video in July and some of our trees are higher than 2 metres already!
In our new tutorial video, we show you how to prune young walnut trees. For example, if you have planted your trees in November or March, you need to prune the trees in June. This is called 1st summer pruning.
In our new article, we explain how to plant walnut trees properly. We start with explaining how to prepare your field, how to dig the holes for the trees, and finally how to plant the trees. In the last section, we give some tips on what you can do to protect the trees after planting.
We were at 84th Agriculture Fair in the city of Novi Sad, Serbia. We met with agriculture professionals in Serbia and had the opportunity to have conversations about walnut trees with investors and growers
There were visitors from all over Europe who attended the fair and there was a lot of interest in our nursery's booth. We thank everyone who visited our booth at the fair.
A note on what we sell: Waltree is a wholesale nursery. We supply commercial orchards and resellers, and our minimum order is 3,000 trees — we cannot sell single trees or small quantities. If you are planting a garden, your local nursery will serve you better than we can. If you are planting an orchard, ask us for prices.
