Carpathian English Walnut vs Schuettes Oak

Schuettes Oak is a naturally occurring hybrid of Swamp White Oak and Bur Oak. With a faster growth than both parent species, it is one of the fastest growing Oak trees. They are known for growing very large and wide, so space them appropriately. It is considered one of the most adaptable Oaks with little preference on soil conditions. It can handle growing in wet, saturated soils as well as those that are dry, clay, or alkaline.

The Schuettes Oak has very large acorns. They have a large cup portion like the Bur Oak, but without the fringe. Due to the Swamp White Oak parentage, the acorns have less tannins and a sweeter taste. They are a food source for various wildlife including birds, squirrels, and deer.

Carpathian English Walnut is a great shade tree or a fantastic addition to a food garden. The taste is described as having a full flavour with a hint of sweetness and butterscotch. They are great for fresh eating, cooking, and baking. Thin shelled nuts split right down the center, making them easy to crack. Harvest ranges from late September to early October.

It is known for being highly productive and more cold hardy than other English Walnut varieties.
Carpathian English Walnut is considered to be self pollinating but planting with a second variety will result in greater yields. It can be cross pollinated with Black Walnut and others.
