The Pescianski walnut is a high-yielding, medium-height tree with a spreading canopy, ensuring good lighting and even fruit development. The main branches grow nearly perpendicular to the trunk, facilitating harvest. The bark is uniform with minimal cracks. This variety is frost-resistant up to -30°C and highly drought-tolerant, making it suitable for cultivation in various climates, including industrial plantations and home gardens. Fruit production begins on the 3rd–4th year after planting, with stable yields achieved by the 4th–5th year. For planting, select sunny areas with well-drained soil and follow a spacing scheme of 6x6 or 6x8 meters. The Pescianski walnut fruits are large, with thin shells of light yellow or light brown color, smooth and glossy surface. The average weight of a single nut is 13.5–20 grams. The kernel accounts for 60–69% of the fruit's total mass, has a light cream color, tender texture, and high oil content, giving it a rich flavor with a slight sweetness and balanced bitterness. The shell cracks easily without damaging the kernel, allowing for mechanical cleaning. High quality and flavor make this walnut popular in the market and culinary applications. The Pescianski walnut is rich in proteins, fats, B and E vitamins, as well as trace elements such as zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Due to these properties, it is widely used as a nutritious snack and ingredient in various dishes. The variety has high disease resistance, reducing the need for treatments and enhancing resilience to adverse conditions. All these qualities make the Pescianski variety one of the best choices for growing walnuts both in home gardens and on an industrial scale.
