Juglandaceae belongs to the order Fagales. It is also known as Walnut family.
The Juglandaceae is a family of mostly large, deciduous trees native to temperate and subtropical regions of the Americas, Eurasia, and Southeast Asia. These trees typically have aromatic, pinnately compound leaves and unisexual flowers arranged in catkins. The fruits are drupe-like nuts, often enclosed in a tough husk, and are dispersed by animals or wind depending on the species.
A key commercial example is the walnut (Juglans regia), also known as the Persian or English walnut. It’s widely cultivated for its edible nuts, which are rich in healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants. Walnut wood is also highly valued for its strength, fine grain, and dark color, making it a premium material for furniture and cabinetry.
