Comments: Rough, thick shells terminate in a sharp point. Distinctive rich, oily, buttery flavor. Has the ability to succeed in poor soils. Somewhat self-pollinating but best to plant in groups. Easy to shell nuts. May secrete juglone as it is a member of the walnut family. Quck-Pro pots air-prune the tap root and cause the tree to send out more feeder roots, adding greatly to the success of transplanting., RESTRICTED STATES, AE, AK, AZ, CA, GU, HI, PR, TX
