Walnut (Juglans regia)

Majestic Deciduous Foliage: Walnut develops a broad, spreading canopy with attractive pinnate green leaves, creating a stately presence in the landscape. Its generous summer foliage provides welcome shade and strong visual structure.

Delicious Nut Crop: This well-known nut tree produces walnuts enclosed within green husks, with the familiar rich, creamy kernel developing as the fruit matures. Walnuts are excellent for fresh eating, baking, cooking, and storing for later use.

Valuable Autumn Harvest: As the growing season comes to an end, the walnuts mature and can be collected for eating and storage. The foliage also takes on warm autumn tones before the tree becomes dormant for winter.

Excellent Feature Tree: With its impressive size and naturally broad form, Walnut makes a wonderful feature for larger gardens, lifestyle properties, orchards, and open landscapes where there is plenty of room for the canopy to develop.

Sun-Loving & Long-Lived: Walnut performs best in full sun with deep, fertile, well-drained soil and adequate moisture during active growth. Once established, it can become a substantial and enduring addition to the garden.

Shade & Productivity: Combining ornamental value with a useful edible crop, Walnut offers beautiful foliage, natural shade, and home-grown nuts. Its deciduous habit allows sunlight to reach the surrounding area during the winter months.
