Cultivated for many centuries and growing into a substantial tree of about 8-12 m in height. The almost round crown is composed of heavy branches. The old trunk is light grey with deep, irregular vertical grooves. The odd-pinnate leaves grow to 20 - 30 cm long and have 2 - 4 (6) yokes. The partial leaves are ovate to oval, about 8 - 12 cm. After leaf development, the green, male catkins (circa 7 cm) and the smaller female flowers appear, arranged in groups of 2 or 3 together. The green, almost round, fruit has a smooth husk that is initially still short, glandularly hairy. The light brown nut is grooved. Particularly tasty. Nuts do not appear until around 15 years old. Roots very deeply and prefers well-rooted, open soil. Important timber producer.

Origin
Al vele eeuwen in cultuur en uitgroeiend tot forse boom van circa 30 m hoogte. De vrijwel ronde kroon is opgebouwd uit zware takken. De oude stam is lichtgrijs met diepe, onregelmatige verticale groeven. Het oneven geveerde blad wordt 20 - 30 cm lang en heeft 2 - 4 (6) jukken. De deelblaadjes zijn eirond tot ovaal, circa 8 - 12 cm. Ná de bladontwikkeling verschijnen de groene, mannelijke katjes (circa 7 cm) en de kleinere vrouwelijke bloemen die in groepjes van 2 of 3 bijeen staan. De groene, bijna ronde, vrucht heeft een gladde bolster die in het begin nog kort, klierachtig behaard is. De lichtbruine noot is gegroefd. Bijzonder smakelijk. Noten verschijnen pas bij circa 15 jarige exemplaren. Wortelt zeer diep en heeft liefst goed doorwortelbare, open grond. Belangrijke houtproducent.
