A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which
is distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate, very strong
central stem tendency, and excellent straightness, thereby producing
excellent timber qualities. This new variety of black walnut tree (Juglans
nigra L.) was discovered by the applicant near West Lafayette, Ind. in a
black walnut planting of seedling progeny from a previously selected tree
for outstanding timber producing potential. This selection has been
designated as BW426, a seedling progeny of selection number BW95 in
records maintained by the applicant on the performance of the selection
and grafts made from the selection and will be known henceforth as
`Beineke 3`.
