Title: Chinese Hickory: An Emerging Nut-Tree Crop
Authors: R. Yong-ling, B.W. Wood and J.A. Payne
Abstract:
Chinese hickory (Carya cathayensis Sarg.) is
a highly prized southeast Asian nut crop.
It is
the horticulturally most important species of
the six Carya species indigenous to Asia and
ranks second to pecan [Carya illinoinensis
(Wang.) K. Koch] worldwide in importance as a
cultivated nut crop from the Hickoreae tribe of
Juglandaceae.
While it is relatively undomesticated,
it nevertheless offers potential as a new
nut-tree crop.
Basic information is presented
which pertains to its distribution, utilization,
ecology, genetic resources, cultivation, pests
and domestication.
