How we got here

We were established in 1992 and we are specialized in producing grafted walnut saplings (young walnut trees). In 1992 we started our nursery by producing Turkish walnut tree varieties like Sebin and Bilecik. In the year 2005 we started grafting superior American and French walnut tree varieties such as Chandler and Fernor. We graft these varieties on strong and reliable walnut seedlings with robust roots. Our walnut seedlings are of juglans regia rootstock (also known as English walnut).

We worked hard to produce the highest quality trees over many years. Today we are the leading walnut tree nursery in Turkey and in our region. Every year we are producing more than 300.000 walnut saplings. We have walnut trees for sale starting from November until next year's April. We export 80 percent of our bare root walnut saplings to different countries in Europe and Asia. Some of the countries we sent walnut trees in the previous years are Serbia, Bulgaria, Albania, Italy, Portugal, Kosovo, Georgia, Armenia, India and many more...

What you get when you order from us

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.

Trees that are true to name

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.

Roots kept alive until you plant

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.

You are welcome to come and look

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.

Advice before the sale, not just after

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.

Excellent Quality and Facilities

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.

Phytosanitary Certificates

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.

Research and Best Practices

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 Attended 2019 Novi Sad Agriculture Fair

POST DATE: 10 DECEMBER 2019

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.
