VARIATION IN KERNEL CHARACTERS OF SEEDLING • WALNUT TREES (JUGIANS REGIA L.) OF DIFFERENT AGES

Abstract

The kernel characters are of great economic importance in walnut. Kernels
of walnut vary from relatively thin to very plump forms. It is desirable to
have kernel which fill the nut cavity and should not be so tight that it becomes
difficult to extract them from the nut. A well filled nut with some space
remaining between the kernel and the shell is preferred.
