Product Description
1 English Walnut ( Common or Persian Walnut) / Juglans Regia
3-4ft Tall in a 2L Pot
The original walnut tree of the Old World. It is native in a region stretching from the Balkans eastward to the Himalayas and southwest China.
A large deciduous tree attaining heights of 25?35 m, and a trunk up to 2 m diameter, commonly with a short trunk and broad crown, though taller and narrower in dense forest competition. It is a light-demanding species, requiring full sun to grow well.
The bark is smooth, olive-brown when young and silvery-grey on older branches, with scattered broad fissures with a rougher texture. Like all walnuts, the pith of the twigs contains air spaces, the chambered pith brownish in colour. The leaves are alternately arranged, 25-40 cm long, odd-pinnate with 5?9 leaflets, paired alternately with one terminal leaflet. The largest leaflets the three at the apex, 10?18 cm long and 6?8 cm broad; the basal pair of leaflets much smaller, 5?8 cm long, the margins of the leaflets entire. The male flowers are in drooping catkins 5?10 cm long, the female flowers terminal, in clusters of two to five, ripening in the autumn into a fruit with a green, semi-fleshy husk and a brown corrugated nut. The whole fruit, including the husk, falls in autumn; the seed is large, with a relatively thin shell, and edible, with a rich flavour.
