Juglans regia

Are you looking for a magnificent specimen tree that offers both structure and a delicious harvest in your garden? Meet the Juglans regia, commonly known as the Walnut tree, a superb choice appreciated for its broad, spreading habit and the promise of edible nuts.

Through the seasons, this deciduous tree provides interest starting with green flowers in April and May, followed by aromatic young leaves, developing into round nuts enclosed in a green husk that mature to edible walnuts in early autumn, complemented by beautiful yellow-bronze autumn foliage, and its early catkins attract pollinators to help with your reliable cropping in the UK.

For best results with your Walnut tree, ensure it is planted in a location with full sun to partial shade, thriving in moist but well-drained conditions across clay, chalk, or loam soils, making it ideal as a solitary statement tree or for providing generous shade in larger gardens.
