IMPORTANT NOTE - The following is an archived page on hybridwalnut.com, which is no longer marketing trees for American Forestry Technology, AFT, SECHE-O, etc. However, hybridwalnut.com continues to offer the genetically superior timber trees (including the Purdue-source grafted black walnut trees and their superior seedlings) and other quality landscape trees, which are now available for purchase online. We will be happy to send you printed material for our online products if you submit this form. The hybridwalnut.com archived pages contain probably the most complete collection available of the technical aspects of successfully growing veneer grade timber, collected by yours truly over the course of many years. These technical guidelines remains relatively constant, but the marketing information on the archived pages is out-of-date. Therefore, if you find this page to be of interest, I suggest you print it out or something because I do not intend to keep it live forever...
Best regards,

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) IntroductionThank you for your interest in the genetically superior black walnut trees. This page is provided to answer general questions many customers often ask before placing an order. The new Successor GST line of trees represents a significant improvement over their predecessors, developed by Dr. Walter Beineke, the world's foremost authority on the genetic improvement of black walnut. The GSTs are equal in form to Purdue No. 1, the best of the patented cultivars. In rate of growth, they are faster by an average of 18.5 percent. Also available are seedlings grown from the nuts of the trees patented by Purdue University. Though not quite as good as the GSTs, they are 600 to 800 percent better in form than common black walnut seedlings and grow half again as fast. In the list to the left are some typical questions and answers to help you prepare for planting these trees. Sincerely, John L. Neidigh |
