Tripp, I've also heard that walnuts are fairly true to seed & grow out
the best selections of buartnuts from my forest garden with fairly
similar results.

As to you're other question, I wouldn't necessarily assume that the
ones in the grocery stores are the best cultivars.  For that
information I would check out NAFEX & Northern Nut Growers, both which
have growers who've been growing out many many varieties & continually
observing them.
