Voinesti Nurseries were established in the 1970s, initially specialized in growing apple and plum trees. To this day we have a medium production of those species. But in 1989 we planted our first walnut graftwood mother orchard, containing all the Moldovan varieties of that period. At the same time, we started grafting and growing walnut trees in our nurseries with a gradual increase in production and a following extension of the varieties list we worked with. In 2012 we began grafting the best of the French and American varieties and a new addition of two other USA varieties was carried out in 2014. From 2015 to 2018 we selected and registered three distinctive and unique varieties: the huge Carpatica, the big and eye-catching Ovata and the notorious red kernel variety Rubin. Our team undertook their registration in the EU plant varieties catalogue and, as a result, today it is legally possible to import and plant them in any member state.
The quality of our trees is the subject that receives most of our focus and technological resources. We are committed to growing and supplying only the material that complies with rigorous quality criteria. We are well known for the exceptionally well-developed rooting system of our trees, a proof of their health and a guarantee to the maximum post-planting tree survival. Over the years we have been constantly updating our methods, investing resources, building new facilities, elaborate new technological sheets to help walnut growers. At the same time, we stayed in close contact with the scientific and technological output of foreign specialists and walnut research centers, tested and then implemented most of all the successful achievement done overseas that looked promising. Of similar importance to us is the phytosanitary status of our trees. Over the years we developed production protocols and nutrition programs in the nursery enabling us to grow trees free of any disease or infection. Every year, inspectors of the national certification authority collect random samples at various times during the vegetation period and after tree removal from the nursery production fields. These samples are submitted to specialized laboratories in Moldova and EU and tested for relevant bacteria, fungi, nematodes and cherry leaf roll virus. More than 15 years of such tests never revealed the presence of any pest.
In relation to our customers, we try to be as supportive as we can by providing the best trees, organizing the shipping logistics and providing after-sale assistance. We offer 3 years of free consultancy to all our customers, either directly or through our dealers. We endeavor so that every orchard founded with planting material from Voinesti Nurseries would be a success story no matter what! That is a mission to which we are dedicated.
We grew bigger and so did our planting material production. In turn, this enabled us to supply our trees to walnut growers in other countries. To this day we have official partners or work directly with customers in Romania, Ukraine, Italy, Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, France, Spain, Latvia, Armenia and Russia. And our export geography is expanding every year.
