Sunland walnut is a popular American variety that combines large nut size, light-coloured kernels, and stable yields. The variety is highly valued by gardeners and farmers for its high kernel percentage (about 58%) and excellent taste, making it suitable for both fresh consumption and processing.
Sunland is an early-developing variety that begins leafing out in early spring and ripens late in the season (late September to early October), allowing efficient use of the growing season and consistent yields.
