A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) is
distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate and fairly strong
central stem tendency, thereby producing good timber qualities. The new
variety has low production of nuts. This new variety of black walnut
trees was discovered by the applicant near South Raub, Tippecanoe County,
Ind. in a black walnut planting from previously selected trees for
outstanding timber production potential. This selection has been
designated as BW508, a seedling progeny of patented `Purdue 1` (U.S.
Plant Pat. No. 4,543) in records maintained by the applicant on the
performance of this selection, and grafts made from the selection and
will be known henceforth as `Beineke 11`.
