Cob nut

On the right a cob nut almost 7 cm long. In the middle the "normal" walnut with a length of about 4 cm. Links could Steinnuss be called smallest variety of the walnut.

Kobernuss is a (partly outdated) East-Central German name

for walnut
and for Brazil nut .

In particular, the walnut variety that produces fruits up to the size of a child's fist is called cobernut. Since the nut kernel hardly differs in size from other walnuts, the uncracked thick-walled nutshell is used as an extraordinary decoration ("... so you can only stand on the table for parade").

In the real encyclopedia of the entire pharmacy , the cob nut is referred to as a "particularly large-fruited variety of the Juglans regia ".

Other names of the "Juglans regia (fructu maximo)" are "horse walnut" as well as sheep nut, polternut, horse nut or horse nut.
