Introducing Juglans regia - English/Persian walnut, a large deciduous tree that produces timber and thin-shelled, edible nuts. Native to Europe and Asia, this species requires full sun to grow well and prefers a deep, light, dryish soil. The wood from this tree is heavy, hard, durable, close-grained, and seasons and polishes well, making it very valuable for furniture making and veneer. Juglans regia has also been found to have insecticidal properties. With beautiful compound leaves and a rounded, open habit, this tree is perfect for large gardens and parks as an ornamental specimen tree. It is widely cultivated across Europe, and the largest forests can be found in Kyrgyzstan. Try the richly flavored nuts fresh or pressed for oil and enjoy the health benefits, including high levels of unsaturated fats. Juglans regia is a fascinating species with a long history and contributes to the beauty and eco-diversity of any landscape.
