IMPORTANT NOTE - The following is an archived page on hybridwalnut.com, which is no longer marketing trees for American Forestry Technology, AFT, SECHE-O, etc.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 These technical guidelines remains relatively constant, but the marketing information on the archived pages is out-of-date.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...
