The main producing areas of Carya cathayensis are Zhejiang and Anhui, which are suitable for growing in valleys rich in humus. Carya cathayensis fruit is delicious and can be eaten directly or used to extract oil. Carya cathayensis often grows in semi-shady hillside, and grows well in loam with deep soil layer and loose soil. During the growth period of Carya cathayensis, fertilizer should be supplemented regularly, and the concentration of fertilizer should not be too high.

Carya cathayensis should be cleared of weeds in forest land during harvesting, so as to facilitate fruit picking. The harvesting tool should be an elastic slender bamboo pole, which should be flapped from the side of the crown to the left and right, and should not be pounded from top to bottom, so as not to damage branches and leaves, resulting in the next year's yield reduction.
