Has been cultivated for many centuries and grows to become a large tree approx. 30 m tall. The almost round crown consists of heavy branches. The old trunk is light grey with deep, irregular vertical grooves. The imparipinnate leaves grow to a length of 20 - 30 cm and have 2 - 4 (6) opposing pairs of leaflets. The leaf segments are ovoid to oval, approx. 8 - 12 cm. After the appearance of the leaves the large male catkins (approx. 7 cm) and the smaller female flowers appear, the latter in groups of 2 or 3. The green, almost round fruit has a smooth husk that has short gland-like hairs at the beginning. The light brown nut is grooved. Very tasty. The nuts do not appear until the tree is approx. 15 years old. Has deep roots and much prefers open soil that the roots can penetrate. The tree is an important producer of wood.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
Juglans regia can eventually reach a height of 15 - 30 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
Juglans regia is average growing and can eventually reach a height of 15 - 30 m, depending on the site and climate conditions.
The right time to plant Juglans regia is during the dormancy period. In Western Europe, Juglans regia with root balls can generally be planted from mid-November to late April, although this depends strongly on the climatic conditions and the species of tree.
