- 1920, Ernest H. Wilson, “Our Nut Trees”, in The Romance of Our Trees (in English), Doubleday, Page and Company, →OCLC, page 181:
- The Chinese J. cathayensis is a bush or slender tree with a small, very rough nut of no particular value. It has not proved very hardy in the Arnold Arboretum. I introduced it first to England in 1903 and to this country in 1908. The Manchurian J. mandshurica rivals the American Butternut in size and the nut shows a decided approach to that of the true Walnuts. The shell is very thick and the flesh limited in quantity. It is a common tree in the forests of Korea and is very hardy. The little-known J. stenocarpa of Russian Manchuria is only a form of J. mandshurica.
