The
Juglandaceae, also known as the Walnut Family, is a family of
trees, or sometimes shrubs, in the order Fagales. Various members of this family are native to the
Americas,
Eurasia, and
Southeast Asia.
Members of the walnut family have large aromatic leaves, that are usually alternate, but opposite in
Alfaroa,
Oreomunnia. The
leaves are pinnately compound, or ternate, and usually 20-100 cm long.
The trees are wind-pollinated, the flowers usually arranged in
catkins, and the
fruit is a true botanical
nut.
There are eight genera in the family, including the commercially important
nut-producing trees
walnut (
Juglans),
pecan (
Carya illinoinensis), and
hickory (
Carya). The Persian walnut,
Juglans regia, is one of the major nut crops of the world. Walnut and hickory are also valuable timber trees.
