Overview
Juglans regia, commonly known as the walnut, is a stately, slow-growing deciduous tree with an upright, spreading, and rounded habit. Supplied as an organically grown specimen in a 3-litre pot at approximately 55cm in height, this perennial tree brings both structural elegance and productive value to larger outdoor spaces. In spring, it produces subtle yellow, green, and multicolour flowers, followed by delicious edible seeds and fruits ready for harvest in September and October. The green summer foliage transitions into striking yellow, bronze, and multicolour shades in autumn, complemented by interesting bark structure that extends seasonal interest.
