Juglans australis
Also called Nogal Austral
Argentine walnut is a large, fast-growing deciduous tree from the montane cloud forests of NW Argentina and Bolivia, grown mainly for its valuable timber and edible nuts. It needs deep, moist, well-drained soil and full sun, and it is more frost hardy than the common Persian walnut.
Juglans australis, the nogal criollo, is a species of plant in the Juglandaceae family. This large, fast-growing tree can grow to 20 m (66 ft) tall at elevations of 0.5–1.5 km (1,600–4,900 ft) in the Southern Andean Yungas, montane cloud forests on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Tucumán, Salta, and Jujuy provinces of Argentina and Tarija and Chuquisaca departments of Bolivia. It is threatened by habitat loss.
The immature fruits are pickled whole for human consumption. The mature nuts are also eaten. The concentrated extract of the husk is used as a vermifuge.
