Bergantz

‘Bergantz’ (C. sativa × C. crenata) is an orchard seedling (possibly of the cultivar Nevada) in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The seed source was Bob Bergantz. The cultivar produces extra-large nuts in California that peel easily and have an excellent flavor. The nuts fall during mid-season (2 weeks after ‘Colossal’). It is male-sterile. Greater evaluation in the East and Midwest is needed. ‘Bergantz’ ramets were introduced to the UMCA repository in 2020.
