About the Nutcracker Nursery

Our mission

Pépinière Casse-Noisette is dedicated to producing and distributing hardy nut trees, both container-grown and bare-root, as well as rare trees that are difficult to find in Eastern Canada. Our goal is to enhance properties with distinctive trees that offer added value, while supplying garden centres, horticulturists, landscapers, farmers and other businesses.

What sets us apart

We specialize in nut trees, fruit trees, a wide selection of oaks and rare trees. Our rare trees are carefully selected to appeal to enthusiasts and support permaculture, reforestation and enrichment planting projects.

Promotion and education

We actively promote growing trees that offer added value and educate the public about the benefits of producing edible nuts and fruit in a world where sustainable food production is essential. These trees enrich the land and provide valuable products such as edible nuts, fruit and quality timber.

Biodiversity and conservation

Pépinière Casse-Noisette supports biodiversity and genetic conservation by encouraging the planting of high-value and/or native hardwood trees. We raise awareness of the importance of diversifying the tree species planted in our towns and villages.

Introducing new species

We are proud to introduce lesser-known tree species with the potential to thrive in northern regions, expanding tree diversity beyond their natural range.

Our growing practices

We grow our trees carefully to help them establish naturally and successfully after transplanting. We avoid fertilizers high in nitrogen or phosphorus and chemical fertilizers, and we do not water on a fixed schedule. This approach encourages a natural growth rate, making our trees more resilient and better adapted to a range of environmental conditions.
