Thank you for visiting Grimo Nut Nursery. Ernie Grimo has been breeding and propagating nuts trees for over 50 years. We continue today to find the best and hardiest selections for our northern climate. We have introduced trees from North America, Europe and parts of Asia to test here. We test all of the cultivars in our 10 acre orchard to determine the best selections for our nursery production. In this way our customers are getting the best selections available.
We are always interested in discovering new selections with outstanding characteristics. If you have a seedling nut tree that measures up, we would like to hear from you. We have several outstanding selections that came to us from Canadian and USA plant explorers and hobbyists.
Important: We list our trees as ‘seedlings’, ‘grafts’ or ‘layers’ to identify how they were produced. Seedling trees are trees grown from seed. This means that they are the result of 2 parents and are not identical to either parent. Seedling trees obtained genes from both parents making each one a unique entity, sister trees in effect. No two have identical genes. Some confusion arises when a seedling is identified by a cultivar name. This may be done to identify the mother tree or the parent source. Be prepared to ask if you are ordering a seedling or a clone when there is confusion.
Trees that are produced by 'grafting', 'layering', 'cuttings' or 'tissue culturing' are clones of a superior selection or cultivar and have identical genes and in effect have most or all the characteristics of that cultivar. Each cultivar is given a name to identify it as a unique entity. Once we have identified a superior tree, we can clone it over and over again endlessly.
Superior trees are given names to identify them. All the clones that are produced from them receive the same name too. We have named a number of our selected trees. Some nurseries use the names loosely by calling their seedling trees by the parent name. This can be misleading to the unaware buyer. We always indicate our stock as ‘seedling’, ‘layer’ or ‘graft’ as part of the name or source.
To find out more about trees produced by grafting and layering, our hours of operation and phone number, or most other questions, please go to our FAQ on the top bar.
We offer fresh nuts from our orchard and from other fresh sources too. Try the incredible taste of fresh nuts from our offerings. See NUTS to EAT
About Our Online Tree Catalogue
WELCOME TO OUR 2025 WEBSITEOrders that are placed between July and December will be held in first to order sequence. No deposit is required until January when final inventory is complete and your order is confirmed. All trees will be dug in spring and shipped in April or the first week of May, 2025. By December our complete inventory is on the website and sold-out items are actually sold-out. However, check the website for newly added stock in early May, when stock is dug and pre-orders are assembled. More trees may be available than were originally inventoried. Spring shipping is completed for bare root trees by early May. Our catalogue will open for advance orders in the summer for shipping the following spring. You can still order books, crackers and tools year round. Our bare root trees can be shipped right to your door or picked up at the nursery at the right time for planting in Spring. Please choose from the 'Nut Tree' and 'Fruiting Tree' selections, (not Potted trees). Potted trees are for summer drop in customers. We do not fall ship. All of our nursery trees are spring dug to provide you with the freshest possible trees. They are pre-sold through orders taken all year on a first-to-order basis. Our aim is to provide you with the best tasting, easiest cracking, most hardy nut trees available. We are pleased to provide a plethora of information on this website to help you select the most suitable trees for your planting site. |
About Our Potted Plants
You are not able to order potted trees through the website. The listing is available by clicking on the graphic image on the potted tree page during the time period they are available mentioned below. Potted trees are available to buy on-site, in person, from late-June to mid-October. These trees are for guests who visit the farm to pick them up as we do not ship potted trees. The selection varies from year to year and is subject to availability. We are open from 10-5 Tuesday to Saturday at 979 Lakeshore Rd, Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON. See our Potted Tree page!! Prices are higher than our online bareroot trees to compensate for the costs associated with potting trees and keeping them on the irrigation system for up to 2 years. |
