Black walnut tree named ‘Beineke 14’

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree ( Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate, and excellent central stem tendency, thereby producing good timber qualities. This new variety of black walnut trees was discovered by the applicant near South Raub, Tippecanoe County, Ind. in a black walnut planting from previously selected trees for outstanding timber production potential. This selection has been designated as BW511, a seedling progeny of unpatented BW95 in records maintained by the applicant on the performance of this selection, and grafts made from the selection and will be known henceforth as ‘Beineke 14’.

1. A new and distinct variety of black walnut tree named ‘Beineke 14’ substantially as illustrated and described, which has excellent timber quality, extremely rapid growth rate, and excellent central stem tendency.
