Taking into account the emerging trend towards temperature increase in the region of the research in recent years, introduction and cultivation of the genus Juglans in the Voronezh region is a pressing issue. The paper reviews 4 species of nuts – black walnut, Manchurian, gray and heartnut, which are the most promising for the creation of forest crops, because they are the most resistant to adverse factors in the area of introduction among all species of the genus Juglans . Taking into account the specific features and the intense form diversity of nuts of the genus Juglans , an assessment scale was proposed and a regional methodology was developed for assessing the quality of fruits. The quality of the fruits of the forms and types of nuts was determined by the total value of the evaluation criteria, taking into account the level of significance of each trait. The trees species which in aggregate have the best resistance to adverse factors and have acceptable quality fruits (EC = 136 and 188) are black walnut and heartnut. It is these types of the genus Juglans that are primarily recommended for full reforestation and afforestation in the Voronezh region.
