Northern Nuts Project is based in Finland, above 60°N. Our aim is to widen the selection of nut trees for Northern climates, corresponding to USDA Hardiness Zones 3–4(5).

We are searching for winter-hardy and productive:
□ Hazelnuts (Corylus)
□ Walnuts (Juglans)
□ Hickories & Hicans (Carya)
□ Chestnuts (Castanea)
□ Pines (Pinus)
□ Oaks (Quercus)

Some of the findings we are trialling at the moment include:
□ Lateral-bearing precocious walnuts from Belarus, hardy to –30°C
□ Heartnut cultivars bred in Atlantic Canada
□ Hazelnuts from the former Soviet and Chinese breeding programs

Please contact us by email if you know interesting clones we should try out: pahkinahanke@gmail.com

The project is led by the Finnish National Arboretum Mustila (www.mustila.fi)
