Catkins with staminate flowers up to 20 cm long and 1 cm thick . There are 20-25 stamens in the flower. Pistillate flowers of 8-12 pieces . in the brushes, the stigmas are long pink-red.

The endocarp (nut) is up to 4 cm long and 3 cm wide, heart-shaped with an elongated tip at the tip, light brownish-brown with a smooth thin shell and two slightly prominent seams. Endocarp weight 6-7 g, kernel yield up to 30% of endocarp weight, fat content 64-67%.
According to the value of the fruit, the heart-shaped nut also does not differ from the walnut, and even surpasses its fruits in taste. The fruits ripen in September, they are cleaned from the pericarp and stored in a dry, cool room.
