Juglans mandshurica var. sieboldiana, a
deciduous tree that grows to 7-10m in height, occurs in damp places
like riversides or depressions. Leaves are of an imparipinnate
compound lead, 40-60cm long, with dense brown vellus- and glandular-
hairs on petioles and rhachises and 5-9 pairs of leaflets. The
leaflets are 8-18cm long, 3-8cm wide, oblong, with few petioles,
tips shortly pointed, bases somewhat distortedly truncated, and fine
serrations on margins. These plants bloom simultaneously with the
development of leaves. Dioecious: Female inflorescences are erect on
the current year's branch tips, and male ones hang from the previous
year's branch axils. May-June. |
