The Common Walnut – Juglans regia is a stately deciduous tree that’s as useful as it is beautiful. This impressive specimen can grow to heights of 20-30 metres, developing a broad, rounded crown that provides excellent shade. The bark is smooth and silvery-grey when young, developing deep fissures as it matures. Its large, compound leaves are aromatic when crushed, turning a lovely golden yellow in autumn before falling. In spring, the tree produces separate male and female flowers on the same plant. The male catkins are long and pendulous, while the female flowers are small and inconspicuous.
The tree’s most famous feature, of course, is its fruit. The walnuts develop inside green, fleshy husks that split open as the nut ripens. These nuts aren’t just for squirrels – they’re delicious for humans too and packed with nutrients. The wood of the Walnut tree is highly prized in furniture making for its beautiful grain and rich colour.
Walnut trees have a long history of cultivation, valued for their nuts, timber, and ornamental qualities. They make excellent specimen trees for large gardens or parks, providing interest throughout the year. Be aware that Walnuts produce a chemical called juglone, which can inhibit the growth of some plants nearby, so careful planning is needed when deciding where to plant.
Plant your Walnut in full sun and deep, well-drained soil. It prefers fertile, slightly alkaline soil but will tolerate a range of conditions. Water regularly when young, but once established, it’s quite drought-tolerant. Pruning isn’t usually necessary except to remove dead or crossing branches. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring. Watch out for squirrels – they’ll happily harvest your nuts if you don’t get there first!
