Juglans ailantifolia as a material for snow tires (studless tires). The only significant disease Japanese walnuts are susceptible to is the Walnut Bunch Disease. Juglans ailantifolia Juglans ailantifolia (synonyms "J. cordiformis" and "J. sieboldiana" and "J. mandshurica" var. "sachalinensis"), the Japanese walnut ( "oni-gurumi"), is a species of walnut native to Japan and Sakhalin. It is a deciduous tree growing to tall, rarely , and 40–80 cm stem diameter, with light grey bark. The leaves are pinnate, 50–90 cm long, with 11-17 leaflets, each leaflet 7–16 cm long and 3–5 cm broad. The whole leaf is downy-pubescent, and a somewhat brighter, yellower
Fruit tree propagation "Colt" rootstock. A newer rootstock, "Gisela 5", is slowly becoming available to gardeners and produces a tree 20% smaller than "Colt" and 45% smaller than "Mahaleb" and "Mazzard", making netting for bird protection much easier. Furthermore, German Nurseries Consortium (Consortium Deutscher Baumschulen — CDB®) is introducing across the EU their newest most dwarfing "Gisela 3" cherry rootstock that has 50% dwarfing qualities in comparison with "Mahaleb" and "Mazzard" and is 10% smaller still than "Gisela 5" rootstock. Plum rootstocks are often suitable for peaches, nectarines and apricots. They include: Many species of fruit, e.g., fig, olive, and pomegranate, are commonly
