Comments:
Wingnuts are plants in the walnut family and their flowers are monoecious and borne in catkins. The catkins become 10-15 inches long and about 6 months after pollination bear 20-80 nuts strung along them. Scented flowers are monoecious plants. Nuts produced in fall are reported to be edible.
