Juglans regia cultivar from Srinagar

[taffa...@gmail.com]

Dear members,

Am posting photos of a walnut cultivar from Srinagar. This is so called "Kaghzi " variety which has a very thin shell. Male (Staminate) flowers are borne in catkins and Female(Pistillate) flowers occur as pairs. Staminate flowers have about a dozen stamens. The pollen grains have a peculiar attractive shape when seen under a microscope. Both  staminate and pistillate are borne on the same plant. Hill people eat the stalks of the catkins of all varieties which are said to taste like spinach.

Regards

One more photo:

Photo of LS of fruit is attached.

The green fleshy portion surrounding the nut is derived from the involucre and not the pericarp of the ovary. Hence it is not a drupe. 

It is a drupaceous nut.

Dear Jaydip ji,

Thanks for the appreciation.

I am afraid the images are the best I could manage with my entry level digital camera.
