Our fruit varieties
Nuts
Walnut Barquesa (cov)
This new variety type Chandler presents an important qualitative evolution with a higher dominant size, extra quality of kernel, lower need of chilling hours than Chandler (600) and excellent productivity.
The strong vigor of BARQUESA does not penalize its quick fruit set.
Its late budburst period (LARA period, 5/6 days after FERBEL) limits the risk of spring frost in risk areas.
Intellectuel property
Breeder : Mr. François Vez
License manager : INTERNATIONAL PLANT SELECTION
Tree
Port : semi upright
Vigour : strong
Flowering time
Pollinator : Flowering 4/5 days after FERBEL, 4 days before Chandler. Protandry variety to pollinate. 3-5% pollinators are recommended. It is essential to combine pollinators dispersed in staggered rows on the plantation to optimize production.

Walnut Barona (cov)
Maturity : -5j Ferbel (témoin)
Its « extraordinary » average size, number of fruit per inflorescence, ease to pollinate and type of fruiting make Barona an exceptional and innovative variety in the current range.
This characteristic allow Barona to establish itself in cultivation areas where traditional varieties are not productive enough and to extend the production area.
This new variety is intended for areas with little frost and behaves very well in areas with medium chilling unit (~ 500h cold below 7.2ºC). Very good behavior in the south of Portugal.
