A universal drought-resistant, heat-resistant, and winter-hardy variety, suitable for both processing and fresh consumption. Currently, it is the most widespread variety in Moldova. The tree has a medium height with a pyramidal crown. The fruit formation type is mixed, with a 45/55% ratio of clusters and shoot tip buds. The flowering type is protogynous: female flowers bloom first, and flowering lasts from April 27 to May 12, thus protecting from early spring frosts. The variety is partially self-pollinating. The nuts are large, with a thin, dense, and firm shell. The kernel constitutes 60% of the weight and is easy to shell. The fruits are straw-colored with a very pleasant, sweet taste, and they have an excellent commercial appearance. Good results are obtained by using two pollinators — ‘Moldovan cluster' + ‘Kozak' or ‘Trifanov cluster' + ‘Jarivetskij'/F26 universal rootstock. It is resistant to bacterial blight and pests. Only immature shoots freeze at temperatures below -30°C.

It is an American variety; the seedlings are from Greece. A low-growing tree with a pyramidal crown. If cultivation is planned without irrigation and with low soil fertility, an 8 x 10 m planting pattern is best. If there is good soil fertility, irrigation and crown control are organised, an 8 x 6 or 6 x 4 m planting pattern is possible. It begins lateral fruiting in its third year. 70% of the fruit comes from lateral buds of annual growth. Male flowers bloom first, female flowers bloom much later.
Pollinizers: VT-10, Fernor, Ivarto.
The average weight of the fruit is 13 g, of which the kernel accounts for 42%. The fruit ripens late, almost the whole kernel is 'butterfly', the kernels are of excellent quality. The 'Green Cone' phase starts at the end of April and the female flowers blossom towards the mid-May. This can be considered an advantage of the variety as it minimises the possible impact of late-spring frosts.
Chandler is a heat-loving variety that needs a sum of active temperatures of 4,200-4,600 degrees. If this indicator is less than 4,000, the fruit will be affected: it will become smaller and the kernel yield will reduce (to no more than 40 %). Even a slight frost will be able to damage the plant, the growth will not mature. The variety is not frost-resistant: if temperatures in the area regularly fall below -16-18 degrees Celsius, planting is not recommended.

Kostyuzhansky variety is known for its high resistance to diseases and pests. The tree is medium-sized, with a round crown and a branching angle of about 70°. The vegetative period is moderate.

The kernel has an excellent taste and contains about 70% fat. The shell is thin and easily cracks. The yield of the variety is high. Pollinators: Chernavinsky, Mirgorodsky, Borodyansky.

Walnut variety Broadway is a frost-resistant, short-fruited and thin-barked variety bred in Canada from Ukrainian walnuts imported by emigrants from Odessa in the 1930s.

Variety features:
