Nutlets

It can be difficult to control because it grows from underground tubers (also called nutlets) that provide a steady supply of carbohydrates. ❋ Unknown (2009)

To get the easier down, I swung myself by a wild-cocoanut — (so called, it bears bunches of scarlet nutlets) — which grew upon the brink. ❋ Unknown (2005)

Many of these grafts bore flowers and had little nutlets but none of them ripened nuts. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

A Kentucky hickory on my place set out in the fall of 1917, flowered this year, but I had no pollen with which to fertilize the blossoms, and the nutlets dropped off. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

Dr. Zimmerman: I have a Taylor hickory at my place and every year it has several nutlets but as soon as they get any size they tumble off. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

However three of the nutlets stayed on the tree; so that I may have effected a cross between Myers and Cochrane. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

The pistillate blossom assumes the form of one or more tiny nutlets with little sharp-pointed tips. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

I gathered a handful of catkins and carried to the Helmick hybrid and dusted pollen over the cluster of nutlets and succeeded in saving six out of the cluster of eighteen. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

I know this is the result because when the Helmick hybrid bloomed its cluster containing eighteen nutlets would have perished for want of pollen to fertilize them because it had produced no staminate blossoms of its own. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

I picked the little nutlets off the ground and inspected them carefully, then threw them into the chickens to see if they would eat them. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

Soon they begin laying their eggs in crescent shaped punctures which they cut in the new shoots and nutlets. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

There being nothing on the place with ripe catkins shedding pollen, I was watching them very closely for fear there would nothing else bloom in time to fertilize the nutlets, and the first thing to offer ripe pollen that could be used was the Stabler walnut, from which ❋ Unknown (N/A)

The tree was a vigorous grower and precocious in putting on nutlets, but to my knowledge never bore staminate blooms and over a period of several years matured only one nut. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

Part of the persistent calyx has been removed to show the four seed-like fruits, or nutlets. ❋ Douglas Houghton Campbell (N/A)

However she generously allowed a few air pollinated nutlets to grow, and so there will be a small crop of the round and plump smooth green balls. ❋ Unknown (N/A)

It took 8 years before I got any nuts, although they had nutlets time and again! ❋ Unknown (N/A)

I knew there had been a mixture of pollen in the air at the time these nutlets were receptive (a mixture made up largely of pollen from black walnuts, butternuts, with some English walnuts). ❋ Carl Weschcke (1933)

Without much enthusiasm, I grafted the material he had sent me on about a dozen trees, some of them very large hickories and I was most agreeably surprised to find the grafting successful and more than one branch bearing nutlets. ❋ Carl Weschcke (1933)

In the shadow of the broad panjandrus leaves we could see whole loaves of breadfruits falling unassisted to the ground while between the heavier thuds of cocoanuts and grapefruit we heard the incessant patter of light showers of thousands of assorted nutlets, singing the everlasting burden and refrain of these audible isles. ❋ Unknown (1911)

Prof. Braun mentions a Fumariaceous genus, in which the flowers in the lower part of the spike bear oval, ribbed, one-seeded nutlets; and in the upper part of the spike, lanceolate, two-valved, and two-seeded siliques. ❋ Unknown (1909)
