Howard is another walnut variety cultivated in California in the late 20th century. We harvest our Howards during the middle of the season. They produce a large, round smooth nut with a good seal. Tree size is small to medium and semi-upright with moderate vigour, which makes it a good candidate for high-density plantings.
Vinas are harvested mid-season. They produce a high quality medium size pointed nut, with a good shell seal. The trees grow to be smaller than other varieties. They are highly productive trees with moderate to good vigour. Vinas are well-adapted to areas with hot summers but, like many early-leafing selections, is moderately susceptible to walnut blight and codling moth.
