The 21 Juglans species all provide edible walnuts which can be further divided into the following: + English/Persian walnuts (Juglans section, containing only ''J. regia'') + Black walnuts (Rhysocaryon section, typically ''J. nigra'') + Butternuts (Trachycaryon section, containing only ''J. cineria'') + Heartnuts (Cardiocaryon section). + The name "walnut" derives is a corruption of the French "Gaul nut" and are native to Asia Minor and southeastern Europe. Most are grown for their beauty, timber and some for their edible nuts. Walnuts produce both male and female flowers on the same tree which open at different times; because of their offset flowering cycles, trees must be cross-pollinated. The flowers are green, with males growing in long catkins and females forming small clusters. Walnut leaves are one- to two-feet long, pinnate, and formed of 2"-4" ovoid lance-shaped leaflets. Walnuts are typically 2"-3" in diameter and surrounded by a fleshy, greenish husk during the summer; by fall, they ripen and drop from the trees. + + Black walnuts seem to be all over Davis.
