The winged walnut (Pterocarya × rehderiana) is a hybrid of two types of allochthonous walnuts, the Caucasian walnut (Pterocarya fraxinifolia), native to the Caucasus, and the Chinese walnut (Pterocarya stenoptera), native to China. This tree was already planted when, in 1930, the planting of the Historic Botanical Garden began, directed by Dr. Pius Font i Quer. It has reached a large size as the conditions in the "enclosed" area of the Historic Botanical Garden have favored it, it is a kind of humid climate. It is the largest tree in its surroundings and probably in the whole of Barcelona. Very leafy crown and that touches with other trees; has the first branches at 2.5 m.
