Natural Variation in Seed Characteristics and Seed Yield of Black Walnut in the Tennessee Valley

Estimates of seed orchard yields are needed early in breeding programs so that orchard areas adequate to meet expected demands for seed may be established. This is especially true for large-seeded hardwoods that begin bearing large crops late in life. Thus data on seed yield and seed characteristics of black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) are needed in current breeding efforts.
