Description
Le Pterocarya fraxinifolia, également appelé Noyer du Caucase, est un arbre caduc vigoureux et majestueux apparenté au célèbre noyer. Cette essence forestière, qui colonisait autrefois une grande partie de l'Europe, est aujourd'hui principalement présente dans les montagnes du Caucase et de l'Elbrouz, du sud de la Russie jusqu'au nord de l'Iran. Très apprécié en tant qu'arbre de parc et arbre d'ombrage, le ptérocaryer développe une couronne large, porte un feuillage élégant composé de longues folioles d'un vert lustré et produit de longs épis pendants où se serrent des fruits verts et ailés, originaux et très décoratifs. Offrez-lui une exposition dégagée et ensoleillée ainsi qu'un sol profond, riche et frais à humide.
Le Pterocarya à feuilles de frêne est un arbre de la famille des Juglandacées. Cette espèce inféodée au climat tempéré européen, qui a trouvé refuge dans les montagnes du Caucase durant la dernière période glaciaire, a été (ré)introduite en France en 1784 en tant qu'arbre d'ornement. Très bien acclimaté en dehors de la zone méditerranéenne, bien trop sèche et trop chaude, cet arbre est présenté comme potentiellement invasif dans certaines régions où il a tendance à coloniser les rives et les berges des cours d'eau.
C'est un arbre vigoureux, de croissance rapide, qui peut atteindre 25m de hauteur pour 20m d'envergure au niveau du houppier. Il présente un port plus ou moins étalé, une ramification basse et une couronne dense. Son tronc peut mesurer jusqu’à 1,5 m de diamètre. Il est souvent ramifié et couvert d'une écorce brun-gris foncé parcourue de longues et profondes fissures sur les sujets âgés. Au printemps, il développe des bourgeons de couleur rouille et des jeunes pousses de couleur brune teintées de vert olive. Les rameaux portent des feuilles disposées de façon alterne, longues de 50-60 cm, composées de 11 à 25 folioles allongées, finement dentées, mesurant 8 à 12 cm de longueur. Leur couleur est un vert assez foncé lustré sur le dessus, les nervures sont pubescentes au revers. Avant de tomber en automne, les feuilles virent au jaune. La floraison a lieu en avril-mai, elle prend la forme de chatons pendants. Les chatons mâles mesurent 12 à 15 cm de long, les femelles jusqu'à 45 cm. Ces derniers portent des noix d'environ 2 cm de diamètre entourées de 2 ailes semi-circulaires, qui seront mûrs à l'automne et persisteront longtemps sur les rameaux. Les fruits, emportés par le vent et les cours d'eau, germent facilement dans les terres humides à détrempées. Le noyer du Caucase supporte bien la pollution urbaine.
Arbre très sain, le Pterocarya fraxinifolia a besoin d'espace et d'une terre toujours fraîche, il trouvera sa place en isolé, dans un grand jardin, où il assurera un coin d’ombre agréable en été. Pour agrémenter ce petit coin de fraîcheur, pensez à planter à son pied quelques bulbes pour le printemps et/ou quelques vivaces d’ombre pour l’été. Par exemple des cyclamens de Naples, perce-neige, narcisses, jacinthes des bois, des fougères ou des Eranthis. Le noyer du Caucase est également utilisé pour fixer les berges. Attention, il peut drageonner si ses racines sont blessées.

Planting and care
Plant your Caucasian wingnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia) in autumn or spring, choose an open location with non-scorching sun, where the soil is deep and cool, and keep in mind the space it will eventually occupy. It appreciates fertile, clay or humus-bearing soils and tolerates occasionally waterlogged soils well, for example near watercourses. Maintain regular watering during the summer following planting and ensure it is protected from droughts for another year; mulching can help retain moisture at the base and reduce watering frequency. It's important to remember that this riverside tree needs permanently cool soil, at least at depth. Nevertheless, it can develop in drier locations if its roots are deeply embedded. The Caucasian wingnut tolerates pollution fairly well, but not salt spray. It is fully frost-resistant, though young leaves may be damaged by frost without serious consequences. Pruning involves balancing the tree's habit approximately every 3 years by possibly thinning the centre of the crown.
It may produce suckers if its roots are damaged: avoid mowing over them or digging nearby with a spade.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
