Claro Walnut
Does any one out there know what this really is? I have heard so many
different stories. Is it just a color vaiation of Black Walnut? Is it the California Walnut? Is it the graft between the English/Persian and Black Walnut? Is it just a fancy name for a color variation so that it sells better??? This is just driving me nuts. Now I found out that there is another walnut called the 'Paradox' which is the main orchard tree. Any one seen any of that??? robo hippy |

Claro walnut is native to California, and is Juglans Hindsii (named for the guy who discovered it, Richard Hinds). Black Walnut is Juglans nigra. Paradox walnut is a hybrid of English and Claro walnuts. -- Andy Barss |

Claro walnut is native to California, and is Juglans Hindsii (named
for the guy who discovered it, Richard Hinds). Black Walnut is Juglans nigra. Paradox walnut is a hybrid of English and Claro walnuts. And Butternut, aka White Walnut, is Juglans Cinerea. Range is about the Mississippi to the Atlantic and Great Lakes to the Ohio, give or take. Dan |
