General Info

Description

A medium to large tree (upto 100 ft) with spreading crown. Leaves are odd-pinnately compound with prominent, hering-bone venation in the ovate, acute-tipped leaflets;entire margins. All Juglans spp. are monoecious, bearing male and female reproductive organs on separate flowers on the same tree. Although J. regia is self-fertile, it is heterodichogamous, either protandrous or protogynous depending on cultivar. Catkins ( inflorescences) are borne laterally on 1-yr wood, and pistillate flowers are borne terminally in spikes of typically 2 to 4 flowers. Fruit (nut) green, fleshy, shuck covers the nut until maturity, when it dehisces irregularly, releasing the nut. There are fewer nuts per cluster, but more nut clusters compared to pecan.

Herb Effects

The leaves are alterative, anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory, astringent and depurative. The seeds are antilithic, diuretic and stimulant; anthelmintic (leaf, unripe shell, green hull, bark and fruit oil); antisyphilis (unripe shell and green hull); cleansing (bark and leaf); restores health (bark, fruit and leaf); laxative (fruit oil)
