Winged Nut

From LoveToKnow Garden

Winged Nut (Pterocarya) - Walnut-like trees of fine stately form of leaf and habit, P. caucasica being hardy in England, at least in the southern and warmer parts. There are good trees at Claremont and other places, and one in Hyde Park. The foliage is very glossy and large. The tree is a vigorous grower, and should not be planted near shrubs or other plants we wish to have a fair chance. The trees are natives of temperate countries in Asia, and their number is likely to be added to as soon as more of China, Mongolia, and countries near are opened up. The Caucasian is the best known species—others are: rhiofolia, Japan, stenoptera, China, and Delavayi, Yun-Nan.
