This study was carried out in the district of Geva located in the Lake Van Region (East Anatolia) between the years of 1995 and 1998. In the study, it was aimed to determine thepromising walnuts and to preserve as valuable genetic sources (Juglans regia L.) withinexisting population, all of which consisting of seedling trees. Thus, walnut preselectionson which initial observations and evaluations were done before were investigated for longtime so that they could be better illustrated. As a result of observations for four years,valuable selections were studied, and they were regarded as promising. Selections had nutweight between 10.38 and 17.04 g, kernel weight between 5.85 and 7.88 g, shell thicknessbetween 0.86 and 1.75 mm, kernel percentage between 45.09 and 59.27 %, oil contentbetween 55.74 and 68.52 %, and protein content between 16.21 and 21.86 %. In addition,nut dimensions, kernel color, lateral pistillate flowering percentages, and floweringcharacteristics etc. were also evaluated.
