. Welcome to...John Gordon Nursery
1385 Campbell Blvd,
Amherst, New York, 14228
This is a small, mail order nursery. What started
as a planting of Hemming Chinese chestnuts in 1962 is evolving
into a 10,000 nut tree research planting. This nursery mails bare root nut trees in late March thru May;
tree nuts in November
(chestnuts and other freezable items in spring ); and scion cuttings ISgraft.jpg in early March. This site is a
cool GDD50.jpg, winters can be
-20DegF frigid, river flat expanse 15 milees from Buffalo, NY,
half way to Lockport. The soil is 8 inches of garden soil on top
of 9 feet of a silts and sands deposit with clam shells (old Lake Tonawanda lake
bed). Special native
chestnuts and red oaks are locally adapted, not true to species,
on this sweet soil. Pawpaws, and especially Korean nut pine need
acid drenching with 1 Tablespoon of citric acid (or 1 cup of vinegar, 2
tablespoons citric acid, or 3 cc battery acid) in 5 gal. of water to start, then organic mulch for
maintenance, and re-drenching if slow growth and yellowing of
leaves returns. Walnut, hickory, hazel and chestnut bear large
nuts productively under local conditions. 10,000 trees (not
counting seedlings in planting beds) will sort to 2,500 trees for
adequately testing to gain the final cut to less than 1000. These
are minimum care nut trees and native fruits except to gain quality
transplants and bearing. I am about to list trees which local
growers agree are fine selections, but usually I can only supply
seedlings from them. Testing is in cooperation with members of
the Northern
Nut Growers Association, the North American Fruit Explorers, The PawPaw Foundation,
and especially the Society of Ontario Nut Growers who test under
like conditions. We share scion wood which sometimes provides
great selections, but usually great genes for sorting out in the
next generation.
. . Nursery items: walnut,
hickory, filbert, chestnut, pawpaw, persimmon, shelters, book,
other
. . . . .The Walnuts: Black walnut
is the most common nut in the eastern United States. Walnuts like
moist, but not wet, sweet garden soil. Nuts are lockets which
open at their mid seam. Denting the shoulders of the nut on this
seam with a vice grip pliers releases its bond except with black
walnut and butternut who's seam has to be cut open with nippers.
Except for Persian (English) walnut which can drop clean of its
hull, walnuts typically carry their hulls past maturity until the
hulls are pressed or degraded off; first yellowing (the most
staining stage), darkening to ink, and moldering on to duff. Put
fresh hulls under walnut and hickory trees with fertilizer on
top, and the black leachate will carry the fertilizer down to
return full crops. 
     
also b-sHRT00.jpg also i-sHRT00.jpg also b-sHyBU0.jpg
also c-sBW00.jpg. . Juglans
ailantifolia var. mandchurica Covel Manchurian
is a vast improvement over typical Japanese walnuts, and native
butternuts ( J. cinerea ). Though the kernel of Covel is
tight in the half-shell, it is not keyed in. Its flavor and production
are tops, so we suffer with a fortified shell, suture which is loosened by 30
seconds in the microwave, and having to
wiggle the kernel from the half-shell to get it out whole. Typical
of heartnut trees, its tree looks like a low spreading butternut,
but without butternut bark disease.
. . Juglans nigra Black Walnut -
Elmer Myers is an Ohio selection noted for timber tall
straightness and high nut production. Kernel extraction requires
cracking like a hickory nut rather than cutting along the seam.
It has a thin outer shell which reveals its kernel outline.
However a thick center ridge has to be cracked to release the
shell in fragments. Cutting pops the thin outer shell, but not
effectively. Emma K is thin shelled, but not quite thin
enough to crack two together by squeezing in one hand. Like
typical black walnuts the lobes of the nuts enlarge into the
shell so that a second cut of the shell is needed to free each
lobe. Both these give more regular crops than most blacks,
although Emma K is a central Illinois selection which
likes more warm climate: thus full sun 9AM to 3PM, sun-time.
. . Juglans regia Carroll Persian
is an English (or California) walnut, cold hardy like
Carpathian, but not as easily injured by late spring frost. Among
its other good qualities is a thin, well sealed shell. The
Carroll nuts quickly sell out at the roadside.
Juglans ailantifolia Var. cordiformis CW3,
Imshu, Schubert Heartnuts - Heartnuts are the truly locket
nuts. Pressure on the nut's shoulders forces the halfshells
apart, and the kernel dumps free. Locket is a perfect
valentine, and its shells are prized for jewelry Pyke is a
large flat nut which will crack out whole in commercial cone
crackers because the halfshells shear apart, and slide sideways
over the kernel, not damaging it.
. . J a c x nigra/cinerea Hybrid
Heartnuts - Filsinger is the locket form, black walnut cross, but does not
retain the black walnut flavor. Dooley, Sauber, and Baker have the general shape of a
heartnut, butternut cross, but are
mainly retained for breeding. Their seedlings are valuable as
rootstocks, especially in warm climates where the soil saturates,
and ink disease (Phytophthera sp.) is a problem. Baker is the most upright tree, and
hardiest against arctic cold.

. . . . . The Hickory: Pecan is in this
genus, Carya. These are not locket
nuts. The sharpest blow, producing the most shell fragments,
frees the most, and often largest pieces of kernel if the nut is
struck side to side at its broadest. Pecan is a commercial nut
because a percussive blow on its ends buckles its shell, and
produces whole kernels. Similarly, a hammer blow across the wide
center of shagbark, or shellbark, will shatter the shell (the
case and center ridge) to expose most kernel. Selections are made
of hickories which have flat, smooth sides, outside, which
reflects inside, a bit.    
also c-wHIC00.jpg also c-sPCN00.jpg also a-hHyH00.jpg. . Carya ovata Shagbark
Hickory - Weschcke is a flat,
relatively narrow nut typical of easy cracking hickories. It is
an upland hickory from northern Iowa, early ripening, productive.
Porter from Pennsylvania is larger. Both suffer
weevil infestation below Interstate 80 due to early kernel fill;
not a problem in New York. Yoder#1 from Ohio is
a large shagbark which fills later, and is much less troubled
where weevils abound.
. . Carya laciniosa Shellbark Hickory -
Fayette and Henry are the
earliest to bear and most productive of the Pennsylvania
shellbarks., often starting to bear on an eight foot tall grafted
tree. Campbell's CES 24 from Sarnia, Ontario
starts bearing on a 15 foot tree. It has the thinnest nutshell of
the shellbarks, and benefits from branch removal during harvest
to open its better branches to light and bearing.
. . Carya illineonsis Pecan - Pecan is
an educational nut to me. It shows that the earliest ripening
pecans grow due west of here on the Mississippi; that removing
shaded branches to harvest nuts just ahead of the blue jays keeps
the tree in top condition. It shows that planting an under-story
of autumn olives for nitrogen fixing and berries is very
attractive of fruit eating birds which attract kestrels and
harrier hawks which take out the blue jays.

Snaps from Bellevue, Iowa is the earliest
ripening ( 20 Sept 99 in Amherst): 1.1" tip to tip, football
shape nut, thinnest shell of the pecans. Other far north pecans
are GI Jack, Deerstand, Diken,
Gibson, PK Ernie, Dejay, and Fritz Flat. If good growing
weather continues, each is respectively 5 days later and
0.1" longer.
. . Carya llineonsis x laciniosa Hicans
- These hybrid pecans ripen with the earlyy pecans, are large
pecans whose kernels taste like shellbark hickory's, and are easy
to crack like southern pecans. Henke is
1.25": Hy-6 and Marquardt, or Kreider
1.75". Abbott-thin-shell is a paper shell
bitcan (pecan x bitternut hickory), growing next to a similar
hybrid with a thicker shell near Fulton, Illinois, Because the
thicker Abbott has few nuts, and not the pecan shape, only Abbott
"pecan" is refereed to, and as a pecan, with pecan flavor. Abbott
"pecan" ripens in August west of Chicago; not yet bearing here.
    a-tFIL00.jpg.
. The Filbert: American hazel is a small,
densely suckering nut-bush (half lilac size) that grows native
here. Hybrids with European filbert (lilac large nut-bush) baloon
the pea size of native to above marble size kernels. These
hybrids are winter hardy, but are only partially resistant to the
eastern filbert blight. Hybrids with Turkish tree hazel have
larger and thinner shell nuts, but are just hardy enough to fruit
heavily after a normal zone six winter, and few Turkish hybrids
have shown great blight resistance. Some fully resistant European
filberts are being discovered.
. . Corylus avallana crosses, (complex hybrids) Slate's
Hybrids - Professor George Slate ran his unofficial
projects with Persians, filberts, persimmons, and pawpaws at the
Geneva NY Experiment Station. He made many crosses with European
filbert and Turkish tree hazel, starting with Rush hybrids (C.
avallana x C. americana ). Great benefits of Prof. Slate's
work were putting two and maybe three genes for resistance in
filbert, one from each species, and using tree hazel to remove
the hard helmet from European x native hybrid nuts. Blight
surfaced late in his project (1970s, at his fourth generation),
and gave us the new project of evaluating resistance.

filberts - Tree filberts are tall,
several stem nut-trees with gray flaking bark, and thinner shelled
nuts than tree hazel. Lark (scions only) shows
most promise. Seed is sold out for spring 2000.
. . . . . The Chestnut;
Think hybrid sweet chestnut whenever chestnut
is mentioned by a nutgrower, then narrow in toward northern Chinese, or hybrid
of native with Chinese, Japanese, Chinese X Japanese, or European. Native chestnut gets
the bark blight, has a penny size nut, and is usually adapted to
very acid and porous soil, but it is hardy toward short season,
winter cold, and bright winter sun during an arctic high
which raises fluids under the bark, allowing rapid freezing to
destroy bark (called southwest injury) on all the other species
of non-hybrids. Tender Chinese is long season,
quarter size, adapted to pH 6.5 garden soil, and usually resists
the bark blight. Much like Chinese, some non-hybridEuopeans endure Zone 6 winters until an abnormal arctic high kills them;
little blight or gall wasp resistance,. Japanese is great to
breed with because it has disease resistance and crops the best
of all during a cool growing season; gall wasp resistant due to
tiny buds, large nuts if given time to size and mature its nut-tree. 
   
d-sCHS00.jpg. . Castanea
molllissima Hemming strain Chinese
chestnut - These are from the few survivors of a bushel of
chestnut seed brought back from the Paradise Plantation, Maryland
in 1962. . I was told at that time that Chinese chestnut does not
survive above Maryland, but that Hemming is short season, and
is the first non-hybrid
Chinese to try. Some with thick bark turn out
hardy, and are found growing locally.
. . Castanea mollisima x dentata Douglass hybrid
chestnut - These originated with Earl Douglass of Red
Creek, NY. His birdhouse business took him from New Jersey to
Massachusetts, and he brought back hardy Chinese and Japanese.
The best Chinese he crossed with a noted surviving American. A
generation or two later he selected for seedlings with large
nuts. The largest Douglass trees with the
largest nuts were grafted here, and are now 1 foot diameter
trees. Douglass hybrids look 75% American.
Blight is still a problem, but it moves slower than the trees
grow; allowing continuous production of nuts.
Castanea complex hybrids x crenata Ridge
strain chestnut. These started from seed
gathered off the earliest and best Japanese tree in Chestnut
Ridge Park, Orchard Park, NY. The largest, earliest chestnuts
come from these Chestnut Ridge seedlings, and
other Japanese hybrids.
. . Castanea complex hybrids x sativa Layeroka
strain European hybrids. These started with Jack U.
Gellatley in the Okenogen Valley of British Columbia, Canada. Layeroka
mirrors many of its seedlings, seeming to be identical twins with
good blight resistance: somewhat short, American form tree (no way as hardy as
American), and
high production of very early ripe (part Japanese), large chestnuts. Simpson
strain European hybrid is similar: Pollen is often lacking in European types, so multiple
seedlings (seedlings that have endured at lest one winter here) of these strains have to be planted together, or have a
tree or two of a non-European strain.

. . . . .Pawpaw,
Michigan-Indiana sorts - Pawpaws grow locally, but selections
started with material from Pennsylvania or the Midwest.
Pennsylvania had the earliest ripe pawpaw. The Midwest had the
largest. Combining these into an early fruit, here, with a large
globe of flesh covering its line of nickel size seeds is our
work-in-progress. Pawpaws are like sumac (similar size and wood,
but look like small, gray pear trees with giant leaves) that try
to run out a whole stand form one individual. In Nature this
stand prospers near waterwith major roots just under leaf mold.
To get pawpaw into this native setting we start pawpaw by
acidifying soil, then keep it growing by generous mulching with
wood chips, grass clippings, newspapers; spoiled apples, most any
organic mulch which acidifies the soil, and keeps it moist. Keep
mulch 4" from the bark at its base. Pawpaws are pollinated
by carrion flies and beetles. Pawpaw fruit ripen best on the
tree, or in the leaves on the ground. The ripening fruit will
tolerate frost and freezing, and still ripen. Pealed and
sectioned onto breakfast cereal with crumbled chocolate cookie,
even ripening pawpaws make the breakfast taste like a chocolate
desert. I used to send grafted pawpaws with individual tree shelters, but
switched to a white plastic kitchen bags because pawpaws overheat in the
shelters (if not removed at 80 F weather) and pawpaws need the greater shade 10
AM-2 PM the first growing season from the white bag stapled on
stakes.
  . . Asimina triloba
Pawpaw - PA Golden Strain Pawpaw
is early ripening. Coming from the deep, cold valleys above
Harrisburg, PA it ripens its whole crop in unusually cool seasons,
less than 2300 growing degree days >50F. We get an unusually
cool season once in eight, or so, years. As often we get a 2900
GDD year when everything ripens. All pawpaw trees survive cold summer and
winters here, but selection with the larger fruit ripen few fruit in our 2300 GDD season,
while that same year all their fruit ripened in Ohio and similar climates in
Pennsylvania. PA Golden 1,
PA Golden 2, PA Golden 3, and PA
Golden 4 are grafted selections. Their rich yellow flesh
indicates ripeness in early September. The named pawpaw are
grafted, and a few PA Golden 1 are lifted
sprouts on their own roots when specified. Taytwo, SAA
Zimmerman, Overlease, SAA
Overlease, SAB Overlease, and
Campbell's NC 1 are progressively later and
larger fruit. With good growing during a warm season NC 1
has ripened 20 oz. fruit, 2 to 3 times the6 to 8 ounce fruit of PA Goldens
and Taytwo.

. . . . . Persimmon - Midwestern native persimmon
from central Iowa east to central New York is the hardy,
soft, apricot-like persimmon, hardy and early enough to grow and
ripen here. When late ripening, this orange fruit is often left
on the trees for winter decoration. Its value as food is often
overlooked because when it looks ripe it is puckery, and when it
looks past ripe it is edible. The trick is to pick persimmon, or
pick it up, and break the skin. If a sweet apricot smell is smelled,
it is ripe and non-puckery.      
. . Diospyros virginiana Native Persimmon
-Usual ripening order of the persimmon is:: NC 10
(early September), Szukis, Geneva Long,
Prok, SAA Pieper, Yates
(late October). Pieper persimmon is an Iowa
selection which always ripens all its crop in one week in late
October here. . These named persimmons are grafted. SAA
Pieper is also on its own roots (sprouts transplanted
from under one of its many good seedling selections). Because the
Piepers ripen late here, and have small fruit, the fruit hangs
ornamentally on the tree into winter. Some persimmon seedlings
are female, but most are male, and bear no fruit. Some seedlings
are too tender to retain bark through our winters. SAA
Pieper is the hardiest, so provides a good rootstock,
and good fruit. Campbell's NC 10 is the earliest
ripe with fruit dropping from August to November. Szukis has
both sexes on the same tree. It will pollinate itself, and all
the other varieties. Usually persimmons, like apples, are larger
with seeds than without. Seedless native persimmons are a trick
of chestnut pollen triggering fruit-set on persimmon. Geneva
Long has many Oriental traits, and taste. It is from
Professor Slates hybridizing at Geneva. DNA tests are needed to
confirm it a hybrid. Prok( or sister Korp) is the size of
Oriental, and ripens mid October large fruits, but as the season
cools, and drying takes over the ripening, the fruit size reduces. Yates is a quality tree and fruit that
ripens most of its crop here.

.Prunus amygdalus Hardshell Almond. -
Campbell's NC 1 almond is hardy and productive
with small size kernels where peaches can be grown.
. . Morus alba x rubra Illinois Everbearing
and Collier are purple mulberries, 1.5"
long by 0.5" diameter. IL is very hardy and
erect. Semi-weeping Collier is easier to train low for picking.
. . Cornus mas Cornelian Cherry Dogwood - Black
Plum is known for its early ripe, inch long fruit, and a
very dark green glossy leafed large bush: small yellow flowers
never frost injured, graft early=while flowering.
. . Elaeagnus umballata Autumn Olive is
a spreading bush which enlivens trees they are under by fixing
nitrogen. All three fruit like limestone (sweet) soil, and
associates well with walnut, filbert, and pecan. AO
berries are refreshing like lemonade while picking up nuts.
Mowing is needed to keep the grove open because the AO
bushes can take over.
. . 30"x4"Diameter tree shelters are a
big help in starting transplants. I send bare root seedlings
which need the transplants to grow vigorously on stored energy.
New rooting follows vigorous top growth which risks desiccation
in a drying wind. Sustained growth is possible in the moist air
of a greenhouse, and that is what tree shelters provide. They
should be fitted so that a transplant is topping out of the
shelter with the third or fourth leaf. If the shelters are to
remain for months or years 3/4 inch holes should be drilled, 6 at six
inch centers Swiss cheese pattern to let the wind ventilate, chill, and
vibrate the tree for hardening-off.
Borrow a rechargable drill. Shelters for filberts do not need holes, and should
not have them because filberts are exceedingly hardy, and the shelters should be
renewed to cramp-in and kill suckers.
. . The book, Nut Growing Ontario Style, is a
172 page soft cover manual published by the Society of Ontario
Nut Growers. There are chapters on each species of nut, pawpaws,
persimmons, grafting, and our attempts at breeding.
