Black walnut tree named ‘Beineke 10’

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate, fairly strong central stem tendency, thereby producing good timber qualities. The new variety has poor nut bearing qualities. Nut crops are erratic. Nut-bearing begins late in the life of the tree.

This selection has been designated as BW 504, a seedling progeny of BW 36 in records maintained by the applicant on the performance of the selection and grafts made from the selection and will be known henceforth as Beineke 10.
