English Walnut Tree
€24.95
English Walnut (Juglans regia) is offered here as a seedling, now two years old — supplied bare-root from November to March and as a potted tree the rest of the year. One of the oldest cultivated tree species in the world, it grows to a substantial 20 to 25 m and can live 150 to 200 years or more, rewarding patient growers with rich, buttery walnuts and valuable timber for future generations. Its broad canopy and long lifespan make it a true legacy tree, providing shade, food and beauty for decades to come. A worthwhile long-term investment for any Irish food forest, orchard or large garden.

Growing Instructions
Plant in full sun in deep, fertile soil that drains well, allowing plenty of space since mature trees can reach 20 m or more. Water well in the first few years while roots establish. Avoid planting near vegetable beds, as walnut roots release compounds that hold back some plants. Prune only in late summer to avoid excessive sap loss. Nuts are ready to harvest in autumn once the husks split, revealing rich, buttery kernels.
