English Walnut (Juglans Regia)

The English Walnut tree, Juglans regia, has great autumn colour and makes nuts in the autumn, usually within 10-15 years from planting. If you allow it to grow naturally, it becomes a wide, spreading tree that casts dappled shade and is just the place for a bench and a quiet snooze in the afternoon. If you are stricter and grow it in close company with other walnuts to produce straight trunks without side branches, then the timber is extremely valuable. Walnuts are native to Greece, the Middle East and temperate mountain regions in Asia. They were brought to Britain by the Romans.
