Ths symposium is the fifth in a series of symposia on the establishment,management, and utilization of black walnut. The first symposium, 'Black Walnut Culture', was held in 1966 in Carbonadale, Illinois. Its purpose was to make available to walnut growers 'some ways to increase the growth and improve the quality of walnut timber.' The second symposium, 'Black Walnut as a Crop', also was held in 1973 in Carbondale, Illinois. Its purpose was to present state-of-the-art information on all phases of walnut cultures. The third symposium, 'Black Walnut for the Future', was held in 1981 in West Lafayette, Indiana. Their goal also was to 'summarize current information on walnut to establish the direction for future research for the next several years.' The fourth symposium, 'The Continuing Quest for Quality', was held again in 1989 Carbondale, Illinois. This symposium followed the past tradition of bringing together experts and walnut managers to discuss the current state-of-the-art knowledge on culture and utilization of black walnut. The fifth symposium continued this tradition by inviting experts knowledgeable in their respective fields to present current information and prepare papers for this proceedings.
