"#WalnutTrees are any species of tree in the plant genus Juglans, the type genus of the family #Juglandaceae, the seeds of which are referred to as walnuts. All species are deciduous trees, 10–40 metres (33–131 ft) tall, with pinnate leaves 200–900 millimetres (7.9–35.4 in), with 5–25 leaflets; the shoots have chambered pith, a character shared with the wingnuts (Pterocarya), but not the hickories (Carya) in the same family.
"The 21 species in the genus range across the north temperate #OldWorld from southeast #Europe east to #Japan, and more widely in the #NewWorld from southeast #Canada west to #California and south to #Argentina.
"Edible walnuts, which are consumed worldwide, are usually harvested from cultivated varieties of the species Juglans regia. China produces half of the world total of walnuts."
