Perdue 1 Black Walnut trees are faster and straighter growing regular black walnut trees. Included in the GSP Black Walnuts, the Perdue 1 is one of the most sought after black walnut cultivar seedling in the plantation market.
Purdue Research Foundation of Purdue University has developed cultivars from selections made for good form, rapid height, and diameter growth, primarily for faster timber production. PURDUE 1 bears abundant crops each year with nut set on lateral shoots, a rare occurrence in black walnut. Only negative features: some susceptibility to anthracnose and a slightly earlier than normal leafing date. For anyone considering a black walnut plantation, here is a complete management guide from Perdue University: http://www.ces.purdue.edu/extmedia/FNR/FNR-119.html Greenwood offers the Perdue 1 black walnut trees as 12” to 18” bed grown seedlings which are sold as bare root. We offer them as seedlings only and as a complete package with root dip (enough for up to 200 seedlings), 2-year timed-release fertilizer packet and 48-inch tall miracle tube.
