This cold-hardy Carpathian walnut hybrid thrives in extreme climates, tracing its roots to 1930s Poland. Ambassador produces abundant 1¼" nuts with thin shells and plump, light-coloured kernels renowned for superior flavour and texture. The self-fertile variety yields heavy crops even on young trees and tolerates heat well, though it requires approximately 600 chill hours for optimal production. A patented selection bred specifically for demanding growing conditions.
