Walnuts are a nutritious food for humans and wildlife alike. Walnuts are Juglans Regia tree fruits, which, when grown in the right environment, can be a stunning addition to your garden. The tree can grow incredibly tall and lush, making it a perfect candidate for those looking to add shade to backyards.
Juglans Regia goes by various names, including Persian Walnut, English Walnut, Carpathian Walnut, and Common Walnut. They are large trees growing up to 100 feet (30 meters) tall and 60 feet (18 meters) wide.
The bark of Juglans Regia is smooth and brown but develops ridges and a grey shade over time. This can be a good indication of your Walnut tree's age.
Unlike its relative, the Black Walnut (Juglans Nigra), the English Walnut variety is almost exclusively grown for its nuts. The Black Walnut, on the other hand, is typically grown for its dark and delicate wood.
English Walnut tree may produce small yellow blooms in May and June; however, only mature trees grow fruits, and it can take a Walnut Tree up to 15 years to reach full maturity.
