Juglans ailantifolia new leaves appear. The female flowers have pink/ red pistils. The fruit is a nut, produced in bunches of 4-10 together; the nut is spherical, 3–5 cm long and broad, surrounded by a green husk before maturity in mid autumn. The edible nuts have an oily texture. The husks are also used to make a yellowish dye. The very bold, decorative leaves and the attractive catkins produced in spring make it an excellent ornamental tree for planting in parks and large gardens. Unlike the closely related and very similar North American butternut, Japanese walnut is resistant to the canker disease
Fruit of the poisonous tree Fruit of the poisonous tree Fruit of the poisonous tree is a legal metaphor in the United States used to describe evidence that is obtained illegally. The logic of the terminology is that if the source (the "tree") of the evidence or evidence itself is tainted, then anything gained (the "fruit") from it is tainted as well. The doctrine underlying the name was first described in "Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States", 251 U.S. 385 (1920). The term's first use was by Justice Felix Frankfurter in "Nardone v. United States" (1939). Such evidence is not generally admissible in court. For
