Why gardeners choose this variety
Chinese wingnut belongs to the walnut family, but its most memorable feature is the way it presents its seeds. Long, hanging chains of winged nutlets give the tree a decorative quality quite unlike the familiar walnut. Its compound leaves and spreading canopy add another layer of interest for anyone exploring the diversity of Asian trees.
This is a project for a generous landscape rather than a cramped patio. A mature wingnut can provide broad shade, with the dangling fruits best appreciated from beneath or beside the crown. Allow for its expansive roots and seasonal leaf and fruit fall when choosing a position. Growing it from seed lets you follow the development of this distinctive shade-tree form.
