Four varieties for instance, Kurram-I, Kurram-2, Kurram-3 and Kurram-4 were screened out from the segregating population at Kurram Agency, Parachinar. Maximum Stem diameter, wider plant spread, significantly higher yield were observed in Kurram-2. Early nut maturity, average Kernel weight, average Kernel percent, lesser number of nuts/Kg and very thin shelled were noted in Kurram-1. Kurram-3 had late matured, more nuts/Kg, thin shelled and more oil percent. Maximum nuts/Kg, very thin shelled and maximum oil percentage were dominated in Kurram-4. Scion/bud wood of these walnut varieties are available on request to the Director, Agriculture Research, FATA, Agricultural Research Institute, Tarnab, Peshawar.
