A handsome, compact tree with smooth grey bark and aromatic, dark green leaves.
Self-pollinating and disease-resistant, making it an easy and reliable choice for your garden.
Enjoy abundant harvests of large, delicious nuts from an early age - typically just 3-4 years after planting.
Harvest creamy, light-brown walnuts in early to mid-autumn. Enjoy them fresh, pickle them when green, or dry them for winter storage.
Delicate, greenish catkins appear in late spring, providing an early food source for pollinators.
A manageable size for most gardens, reaching up to 12m but easily kept smaller with simple pruning.
Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, a sign of its outstanding performance and reliability.

Species: Walnut
Features: Disease resistant, Heavy cropper, Heritage, Self fertile
Flowering Time: April, May
Harvest Time: September, October, November
Planting Time: March, April, May, October, November
Flower Colour: Green catkins
Position: Full sun or partial shade
Spread: Will spread up to 8m unless pruned
Habit: Grows with an upright bushy habit and a broad crown
Hardiness: This tree is fully hardy, meaning it will survive under any conditions, including the odd snowy winter in the UK.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Good pest and disease resistance. Walnut trees are not prone to many pests or diseases, although they may occasionally be affected by coral spot, aphids or walnut blister mites.
Uses: Eating fresh, cooking

Planting: Best planted in March, April, May, October, or November.
Location: Thrives in a protected location in full sun or partial shade.
Soil: Prefers fertile well draining soil. Can also tolerate clay soil but you will need to take some steps to improve drainage, such as mixing in fine horticultural grit or perlite to the surrounding soil when planting.
Pruning: Native walnut trees do not require a lot of pruning. Simply remove any dead, diseased or awkwardly placed branches from your walnut tree as and when you see them. To avoid coral spot, always prune in dry weather.
Pest Care: If you see aphids or other bugs, pick them off by hand and spray the infected area with some soapy water.

Product Specifications

Height on Arrival: 120-150cm inc. pot
Eventual Height: 8-12m
Supplied As: This tree is supplied in a 9L Poly-Pot, which is approx D15 x H30cm. Poly-Pots use 70% less plastic than traditional pots and can be recycled. A 9L pot allows ample space for good root development and can support a good size tree.
Expertly pruned before shipping, which may include trimming the main leader to encourage a stronger, bushier shape and prevent legginess.
