What we grow / Nuts / Walnuts
Tasmanian walnut orchards benefit from a relatively cool growing season, allowing nuts to mature slowly, giving the walnut oils extra time to develop. Our walnuts have a natural sweetness and lovely colour.
The latitude in Tasmania and cool climate conditions mean nuts mature slowly and are harvested typically in March and April. They store well and retain flavour.
Tasmanian walnuts are ideal for both in-shell and kernel markets and are well recognised and highly sought after, with varieties including Vina, Lara and Chandler.
The value of Tasmanian walnut production is approximately $9.2 million. Tasmania contributes about 22% of the national production of walnuts.
