Yecheng walnut[1] (Chinese: 叶城核桃)[2] is a Chinese variety native to Yecheng County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.[3] Under the nourishment of the Yarkant River, the plant's heritage has flourished for thousands of years.[4]
This plant has large fruit, thin shell and smooth peel. The appearance of the nut is light and smooth. The shell is 0.86-1.23 mm thin. The average single fruit is more than 10 grams. It is easy to take the whole kernels, its kernels are full and the color is yellow and white.[5]
Walnut processing has recently become a minor industry in Yecheng County, and has created income for many struggling families. Since 2020, the price for a kilogram has increased by 0.5 yuan.[citation needed]
