Abstract

Chinese hickory ( Carya cathayensisSarg.) is a highly prized southeast Asian nut crop. It is the horticulturally most important species of the six Caryaspecies indigenous to Asia and ranks second to pecan [ Carya illinoinensis(Wang.) K. Koch] worldwide in importance as a cultivated nut crop from the Hickoreaetribe 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.
