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.
Nut crops are biennial. 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 BW429, a seedling progeny
of BW 41 in records maintained by the applicant on the performance of the selection
and grafts made from the selection and will be known henceforth as Bieneke 9.
