Carya sinensis (syn. Annamocarya sinensis) is a species of tree native to southwestern China (Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan) and northern Vietnam, in the hickory genus Carya.[3][2] It is sometimes called Chinese hickory[1] or beaked hickory. It is closely related to Carya kweichowensis.[4]
It is a medium-sized to large evergreen tree growing to 30 m (98 ft) tall. The leaves are 30–50 cm (12–20 in) long, and pinnate with 7–11 leaflets. The leaflets have an entire margin, which distinguishes it from other Carya, where the leaflets have a serrated margin. The flowers are catkins produced in spring, with the male catkins in clusters of five to eight together (single in other Carya). The fruit is a nut 6–8 cm (2.4–3.1 in) long and 4–6 cm (1.6–2.4 in) broad, with a prominent, acute beak at the apex.
