Wikipedia
Walnuts (genus ''Juglans'') are plants in the family Juglandaceae. They are deciduous trees, 10–40 meters tall (about 30–130 ft), with pinnate leaves 200–900 millimetres long (7–35 in), with 5–25 leaflets; the shoots have chambered pith, a character shared with the wingnuts (''Pterocarya'') but not the hickories (''Carya'') in the same family. The 21 species in the genus range across the north temperate Old World from southeast Europe east to Japan, and more widely in the New World from southeast Canada west to California and south to Argentina. The Latin name, ''Juglans'', derives from ''Jupiter glans'', "Jupiter's acorn": figuratively, a nut fit for a god. The word ''walnut'' derives from Old English ''wealhhnutu'', literally "foreign nut", ''wealh'' meaning "foreign" (''wealh'' is akin to the terms and Vlach; see *''Walha'' and History of the term Vlach). The walnut was so called because it was introduced from Gaul and Italy. The Latin name for the walnut was ''nux Gallica'', "Gallic nut".
