A new variety, McDonald was released from Oregon State University in 2014. The nuts are medium in size and of good quality with one of the highest nut meat to shell ratios available. McDonald is known for being a consistent and reliable producer of good sized crops and well filled nuts with low instances of mold. Nut texture, flavor, and aroma are excellent, as judged by the developers and hundreds of growers. They are desirable for use in both baked goods and chocolate products and are great for eating right out of the shell as well. Growth habit is rounded and moderately vigorous.
