J. sigillata has pinnate leaves, up to 20 inches in length, are composed of 9 to 11 ( rarely 15 ) ovate or elliptical leaflets, up to 7 x 3 inches in size. The foliage is glossy deep green. The nuts, up to 2.3 x 2 inches in size, ripen during early autumn. It is cultivated in its native range for its edible nuts. Photo Credit and Source: Randy Stewart Landscape Design blog |
