Linzhi Walnuts

　　Linzhi County is located in southeastern Tibet, where the natural conditions are favorable for walnut tree growth. Walnut trees are extensively cultivated in villages and towns across the county. The walnuts produced here feature plump, meaty kernels that are highly nutritious. It is estimated that Linzhi County produces around 150 tons of walnuts annually.

　　Walnuts are one of the ancient tree species in Tibet with a long cultivation history. Legend has it that they were brought to Tibet from inland China by Princess Wencheng when she entered Tibet and have thrived ever since. Walnut trees are widely distributed throughout Linzhi, and many of them, despite being centuries old, remain lush and vigorous. The annual walnut yield is approximately 80 tons.
