About the Nutcracker Nursery
Our mission
The Casse-Noisette nursery is dedicated to producing and distributing hardy nut tree seedlings, in pots or bare roots, as well as rare trees that are difficult to find in Eastern Canada. Our goal is to beautify grounds with unique, value-added trees, while supplying garden centers, horticulturists, landscapers, farmers and other commercial businesses.
What Sets Us Apart
Our expertise lies in the production of nut trees, fruit trees, a wide variety of oaks and rare trees. The latter are specially selected to please connoisseurs and contribute to permaculture and reforestation or enrichment projects.
Promotion and Education
We are actively engaged in promoting the cultivation of value-added trees and educating people on the benefits of growing edible nuts and fruits, in a world where sustainable food production is essential. Value-added trees not only enrich the land but also provide valuable by-products such as edible nuts, fruits, or quality timber.
Biodiversity and Conservation
The Casse-Noisette nursery contributes to biodiversity and genetic conservation by encouraging the planting of noble and/or native hardwood trees. We raise awareness among the population of the importance of diversifying the species of trees planted in our towns and villages.
Introduction of New Species
We are proud to introduce little-known tree species with potential for success in northern areas, thus extending arboreal diversity beyond their natural range.
Our Cultivation Practices
Our trees are carefully cultivated to ensure a natural and successful recovery after transplantation. We avoid the use of fertilizers with high nitrogen/phosphorus levels and chemical fertilizers, and do not adopt systematic watering. This approach promotes a natural growth rate, making our trees more resilient and better adapted to various environmental conditions.
