Juglans sinensis is a deciduous tree found in areas such as E. Asia - China, Korea. A member of the Juglandaceae family, Juglans sinensis (DC.)Dode does not go by a known (to us) common name. The tree can grow to a height of 20 meters and up to meters wide. The preferred habitat of Not known in a truly wild situation., with LMH soil and N moisture levels. .

The plant is a zone hardy plant that has medicinal uses - the medicinal usage rating of is 1The seed is used in Korea to treat spermatorrhoea, frequent urination and dermatitis[279]. The seed contains gangliosides, but no specific bioactivity has been recorded[279].

Juglans sinensis is 0 plant, whose flowers bloom typically in 5 - 6, and which is pollinated by Wind.

The plant has an edibility rating of 3Seed - raw[105, 177]. It contains 15.8% protein, 66.9% fat, 10.8% carbohydrate and 1.8% ash[179]. An edible oil is obtained from the seed, it tends to go rancid quickly.

Cultivation tips: Requires a deep well-drained loam and a sunny position sheltered from strong winds[1, 11]. The plant prefers a slightly alkaline soil[200]. Considered to be no more than a part of J. regia by some botanists[109], whilst others think that it might be a hybrid between J. mandschurica and J. regia[177]. Plants produce a deep taproot and they are intolerant of root disturbance[1, 11]. Seedlings should be planted out into their permanent positions as soon as possible and given some protection for their first winter or two since they are somewhat tender when young[1, 11]. Flower initiation depends upon suitable conditions in the previous summer[200]. The flowers and young growths can be destroyed by even short periods down to -2°c, but fortunately plants are usually late coming into leaf[200]. Any pruning should only be carried out in late summer to early autumn or when . The plant is fully dormant otherwise wounds will bleed profusely and this will severely weaken the tree[200]. The trees have a dense canopy which tends to reduce plant growth below them. We have no specific information for this species, but the roots of several members of this genus produce substances that are toxic to many plant species, especially apples (Malus species), members of the Ericaceae, Potentilla spp and the white pines (certain Pinus spp.)[200]. The leaves of many species also secrete substances that have an inhibitory affect on plants growing underneath them. All in all this is not a very good companion plant[K].

. The plant should best be propagated by The seed is best sown as soon as it is ripe in individual deep pots in a cold frame[80]. You need to protect it from mice, birds, squirrels etc. The seed usually germinates in late winter or the spring. Plant out the seedlings into their permanent positions in early summer and give some protection from the cold for their first winter or two. The seed can also be stored in cool moist conditions (such s the salad compartment of a fridge) over the winter and sown in early spring but it may then require a period of cold stratification before it will germinate[78, 80, 113]. This is possibly a hybrid species and so it might not breed true from seed.
