Juglans neotropica is a species of plant in the Juglandaceae family. It is found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. It is threatened by habitat loss. Common names include Colombian walnut,[2] Ecuadorian walnut, Andean walnut, nogal, cedro negro, cedro nogal, and nogal Bogotano.
It is a slow-growing tree attaining heights of up to 40 meters, with grooved, red-brown bark and an oval-shaped canopy. The compound leaves, typical to all members of Juglans, are about 40 cm long, grouped at the ends of the branches, and have a serrated border.
The species prefers loose-textured, fertile soils, and seems to thrive in somewhat muddy conditions. Neutral to slightly acidic soils are ideal; the tree will not tolerate calcaerous soils nor very acidic conditions. Andean Walnuts are found between 1600 and 2500 meters of elevation, in biomes where the average temperature is between 16 and 22 °C, and annual precipitation of between 1 and 3 meters that is distributed evenly throughout the year. The species does particularly well when planted near running water. It is found naturally in a wide variety of Pre-Montane and Montane forests, and most abundantly in cloud forests.
Propagation is by seed; nuts are scarified with sandpaper, then planted in moist sand for 4 months at a temperature of 2 to 4 °C. Natural germination times are poorly studied, but new trees appear to grow where the nuts fall and are buried under leaf litter.
The Andean walnut is allelopathic, like most walnuts, and its presence will kill some understory plants. It is a common host for Anthuriums and Philodendrons, which appear to be unaffected.
Edible fruit is produced in husks that are yellow-green when ripe; collection is either by picking fallen fruits from the ground, or otherwise harvesting from the canopy when the husks show signs of being ripe. The sap of the fruit husk is a strong dye and can stain hands and clothing. The nut inside is within a much harder and more difficult to crack shell than Persian walnuts, but the meat inside is comparable in flavour, perhaps a bit sweeter. "Tocte", the fruit of the Andean walnut, are often sold in the farmer's markets of Ecuador. The process of husk removal often stains the shells of the nuts black.
Like all walnuts, unripe fruit husks produce a strong yellow dye that does not require mordant; ripe fruits produce a strong red to brown dye that does not require a mordant, and if cooked in an iron pot, a strong deep black dye.[3]
Fruits must be soaked in water for 24–48 hours, but not allowed to ferment, after which the loosened pulp can be manually removed to reveal the walnut inside. There may be as few as 20 or as many as 200 nuts in a kilogram. Optimum storage temperature is 4 to 6 °C.
The hard, durable wood of Andean walnut is highly prized in cabinetry, flooring, veneers, utensils, and other forms of decoration. In South America, it is referred to as nogal, and is among the most expensive woods available.

Juglans neotropica es una especie de fanerógama en la familia Juglandaceae. Se halla en Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela y Perú. Está amenazada por pérdida de hábitat.
Es un árbol de lento crecimiento, alcanzando 40 m y más de altura, con corteza, rojo parda, y el dosel es oval. Las hojas compuestas, típicas de todos los miembros de Juglans, alcanzan 4 dm de largo, agrupadas al final de las ramas, y tienen borde aserrado.
Prefiere suelo suelto, fértil, e incluso vive bien en condiciones fangosas, y con pH neutro a algo ácido es ideal; no tolerando suelos calcáreos ni muy ácidos. Se los encuentra entre 1600 y 2500 msnm, en biomas donde la temperatura media oscila entre 16 y 22 °C, y precipitación anual de 1 a 3 m distribuidas a lo largo del año. No se comporta bien si está cerca de cursos de agua. Naturalmente aparece en una gran variedad de bosques premontanos y montanos, y muy abundantemente en bosque nubosos.
Se propaga por semilla; las nueces se escarifican con papel de lija, y se plantan en arena húmeda por 4 meses a temperatura de 2 a 4 °C. Los tiempos de germinación natural están pobremente estudiados, pero aparecen nuevos renovales donde caen las nueces y se ocultan por la broza.
Es alelopática, como muchos nogales, y su presencia mata otras especies. Es hospedante común de anturiums y de filodendrons, que no los afecta.
Produce frutos comestibles (llamados toctes en Ecuador), en drupas que se colorean de verde amarillento al madurar; o se colectan de las caídas, o se cosechan propiamente del pie al mostrar signos de maduración. Son un ingrediente para la preparación de algunas melcochas y en las nogadas ecuatorianas. El jugo de la fruta tiñe fuertemente manos y ropa.
Madera dura, durable, muy cotizada en construcción, pisos, revestimientos, utensilios, decoración. En Sudamérica, se la llama "nogal", y es de las maderas más caras.
