Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate, very strong central stem tendency, and excellent straightness, thereby producing excellent timber qualities. The new variety has good nut bearing qualities. Nut crops are abundant and annual. Nut bearing begins early in the life of the tree. This new variety of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) was discovered by the applicant near South Raub, Tippecanoe County, Ind. in a black walnut planting of seedling progeny from previously selected trees for outstanding timber producing potential. This selection has been designated as BW500, a seedling progeny of BW 249 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 4.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by rapid growth rate, strong central stem tendency, and outstanding straightness for timber purposes. The nut-bearing habits of this tree are unknown. It has not borne either pistillate or staminate flowers during the first 7 years after grafting. The strong central stem tendency is due to the ability of the terminal bud to flush and outgrow the laterals. This variety also has good anthracnose resistance. This particular variety was discovered by the applicant near Martinsville, Ind. in a cultivated area. It occurred as a wild tree growing on land managed for timber-growing purposes and was discovered in the course of a search for unique and high quality black walnut trees to be utilized in breeding for outstanding timber qualities.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by rapid growth rate, strong central stem tendency, average time in leafing, and outstanding straightness (little sweep and few crooks) thereby producing excellent timber qualities. The new variety has outstanding nut qualities as well such as abundant annual crops of large-sized nuts, begins nut-bearing early in life of tree, average 3 nuts per cluster, and produces kernels which exceed 20 percent of nut weight. The nuts are large and ripen early. The pistillate flowers mature early while pollen maturity is mid-season. In most years there is some overlap in female and male flowering. Flowering begins very early in the life of the tree. This new variety of black walnut tree was discovered by the applicant near Darlington, Ind. on land owned by Purdue University in a cultivated area.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is characterized by rapid growth rate, strong central stem tendency, and outstanding straightness for timber purposes.
