Why Güven Fidancılık?
- Our company is registered with the relevant official bodies and professional organisations.
- We are a producer based in Sahil Yenice, Bandırma, Balıkesir, one of Türkiye’s nursery production centres.
We began producing grafted walnut and almond saplings in the early 1990s and now have more than 30 years of experience. Our production capacity has reached approximately 100,000 bare-root and 20,000–30,000 container-grown walnut saplings, totalling 120,000–130,000, alongside 10,000–15,000 grafted almond saplings.
In the early years we produced registered local varieties including Şebin, Bilecik, Kaman-1 and Yalova 1, 3 and 4. Over time, using grafting material from reliable sources and rootstocks obtained from the Yalova Atatürk Horticultural Research Institute and Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, we shifted towards early-bearing foreign varieties with lateral fruiting.
American Chandler and Pedro and French Fernor, Fernette and Franquette are important parts of our production. Late-leafing varieties can reduce exposure to late spring frosts in suitable regions. Foreign varieties account for approximately 80–90% of our capacity, with local varieties making up 10–20%.
