Walnut (Juglans spp.)

  • Chapter
Trees II

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 5))

Abstract

Under the common name Walnut are included species belonging to the genus Juglans, order Juglandales, family Juglandaceae. There are three main groups in the genus Juglans: (1) Common walnuts: J. regia L. (Fig. 1); (2) Black walnuts: J. nigra L.; J. hindsii Jeps; J. californica Watson; J. major Heller and J. rupestris Engelm; (3) Grey walnuts and White walnuts: J. cinerea L., J. sieboldiana Maxim, J. catayensis Dode and J. manchurica Maxim (Germain et al. 1975; Luna Llorente 1979). Trees of the Caraya group are also called American walnuts.
