    REHABILITATION OF WALNUT TREES , PRODUCTION OF SEEDLING AND FORESTATION STUDIES IN TURKEY

    Necati Uyara, Nazif Gül and Ramazan Topak1

    Walnut is an important resource in Turkey but has been over-exploited and its gene resources endangered. It is estimated that a single walnut tree in terms of nut production is worth 165 US dollars per year and 1234 US dollars when finally felled for timber production. The species is now being submitted to a programme of improvement and endangered sources are selected and grafted for both public and private institutions.
