Cultivars of peanut in europe ?

[nicollas]

Hi,

i'm in the search of cultivars of peanuts, is someone has adresses of good europeans nurseries that sells improved cultivars ? Thanks

I tried to find some, with no success. The only source I found was a private italian grower on ebay and GRIN, first they refused to send them, but 1 year later I got all accessions I asked for. probably not working for you if you want them for this season.
As they are also hard to find in online shops in reasonable amounts and as named varieties in the US I am afraid it is not possible to find them in Europe, at least if you are interested in named varieties...
If you find some please let me know!

Thanks, did the GRIN accession did well in your climate ? On what caracteristics did you select them ? I found the observation on diseases resistance or maturity quite contradictory for the same cultivar on different studies...

I am sorry but I can`t remember why I choosed these special accessions. Last year I did a lot of research on peanuts and I guess I had reason to choose them Last year I had the luck to do a trial with OSC Garroy from Canada, it is said to be short season. Sadly it is still too long season for me. But this was the reason I ordered from GRIN as PI 355982 is the accession Garroy derived from.
The seeds from GRIN arrived just some weeks ago to my really surprise so I will do another trial with them. But honestly I don`t have much hope for them.
As it seems you live in a more suitable climate for peanuts, I can give you some seeds of each accession. Just send a PM.

I would love that, thank you very much !

Maybe last year was not favorable if the weather was as crap as here

HI Nicolla,
You can find peanut (Arachis hypogaea) on www.vreeken.nl, but too late for this season, but next year you can try. I wanted try last year but spring too cold and summer season was too short, i think you can remembered if you live in the south west of France.
The assession of peanut tha I know is Sevilla name

Thanks khumlee, i'm having serious problem with vreeken right now because they say they have sent me my order but i did not received it, since that i try to get refund but no answer from them. Very disappointed.

Sorry for this mischance, I do many orders with them and it was all right.

I never had any problem with Vreeken (here in Flanders), except for them sending out quite late in their busy system. Maybe the problem lies with the postal services?

So did anyone here find interesting cold-climate peanuts in Europe already?

[khumlee]

I had sowing peanut seeds, few years ago, bad trip ! first difficulties with seedling, they rot in pot, and after for the last two seeds only 4 to the harvest ! (
The next year vwith the very cold spring , seeds rot in pot, game over !
Maybe another time, if i can found many lines

Yeah no doubt about that, but since i've tell them that my order did not arrived to my place, no answers anymore. I guess they have to take some dispositions against the shipping company and they should win because my signature is not on the receipt ... But they seems not to bother with customers when things turn bad, so i'll have to take some legal dispositions to get my money back...

Edit: i've checked our mail exchanges, no answer since two months when i confirmed them that my order was not received at my place.
