A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate, very strong central stem tendency, and excellent straightness, thereby producing excellent timber qualities. The new variety has good nut bearing qualities. Nut crops abundant and biennial. Nut-bearing begins early in the life of the tree. Nuts are small, ripen early and average 3 per cluster. This new variety of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) was discovered by the applicant near West Lafayette, Ind. in a black walnut planting of seedling progeny from previously selected trees for outstanding timber producing potential. This selection has been designated as BW408, a seedling progeny of patented Fayette-1 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4964) in records maintained by the applicant on the performance of the selection and grafts made from the selection and will be known henceforth as 'Beineke 2.'
