Carpathian English Walnut Trees 
Would you like to pick English Walnuts from your shade trees? 
Carpathian English Walnut trees are hardy without grafting, com- 
mence bearing young, produce good nuts, make large beautiful trees, 
and are fast growing. They were found in the Carpathian Mountain 
region of Poland about 20 years ago, by Rev. Crath, of Toronto, Can. 
40 degrees below zero happens there. He started trees in and around 
Toronto, that are now bearing. From these trees came our seed, as 
the war had stopped importing. These trees are now growing in our 
Eastern, Central and Northern States. 
The trees are self fertile. One tree standing by itself will bear 
well, and if there is no cross pollination, the nuts from the parent 
tree will produce trees true to parent. For this reason we know our 
trees are good stock. The parent of our trees was selected as a bet- 
ter bearer, producing nuts slightly smaller than nuts generally seen 
on the markets, and there was no cross pollination with trees of pos- 
sibly different characteristics. 
The trees grow large. Mr. Corsan of Canada describes the tree 
from which the original stock was brought to Canada some years ago, 
as “. .. known to be over 300 years old, 150 feet high, with a spread of 
more than 80 feet.” Those fine large trees were probably used by 
the Germans for gun stocks. The trees are rapid growers, and com- 
mence bearing at seven years of age. Well drained, well limed soil 
is best. Fertilizing causes better growth and better bearing.
