Chandler

Chandler

It is the most important variety in the world walnut market. It is the most widely planted walnut variety with its late flowering, lateral branch productivity and inner whiteness.

It was developed by the University of California in 1979. It is a hybrid of the Pedro x UC 5-224. It blooms 18 days after Payne and, blooms in the mid-late period. The trees make relatively small crowns. It gives standard fruit. Side branch productivity is %90-100 white colour, the internal rate is %90-100.

It is resistant to anthracnose, sensitive to bacterial blight.

Fruit Weight: 12- 13 gram
Internal Rate: %50-52
Fertilizers: Franquette, Ivarto, Fernette, Fernor, Cisco

Height & Growth  moderately vigorous, semi upright
Tree crown  Chandler is suitable for high density planting such as 6 x 5 meters   spacing.
Flowering  late leafing and blooming. This is an advantage, because late   leafing varieties are less likely to be affected by frost, walnut blight   and codling moth.
Flowering type  Protandrous
Self fertile  self pollinating
Pollination  Chandler is a self pollinating tree, it can yield walnuts without a   pollenizer. But it can give you higher yields when used with a   pollenizer. Franquette, Pedro and Fernette is used as pollenizer with   Chandler trees.
Terminal or Lateral  70-80 %  lateral bearing variety
Fruiting  very early fruit bearing, very high yield, undemanding in terms of   climate and soil. Chandler is a highly productive variety - 90 percent   of its lateral branches being productive.
Fruit  large (13-15 gr.), 1-4 fruits per batch, elliptical shape
Shell & pericarp  very thin shell, light color, ridged, easy to crack and clean, becomes   stronger in older trees
Kernel  very light-colored kernels, naturally light (similar to the Hartley),   95-100 5% whiteness, weight: 6.3 g., kernel fills shell fully, easy to   remove from the shell and easy to crack out into halves, excellent   taste
Harvest  September 23rd - 2 days after Hartley
Oil content  high oil content of 70% percent
Kernel %  55%
Winter hardness  resistant
Frost susceptibiity  very hightly resistence to late spring frost
Sensitivity to bacterial blight and anthracnose  practically resistant to anthracnose and to bacterial blight
