Facts: The Wingnut is a close relative of the walnut.  The main difference between the two is the way it propagates.  When the Wingnut seeds dry out a wind will catch the winged seeds and carry them away.  Were as the Walnut has a fruit that animals will open to eat.  They drop the hard seed and eat the soft fruit.
