Walnuts
Walnut trees make handsome specimen trees in parks and large gardens with
their spreading habit and pinnate, aromatic leaves which are bronze-purple when
young. They are grown for their habit, foliage, and edible fruits.
Grow in deep, fertile, well-drained soil, in full sun. In frost prone areas
it will need a sheltered site. They will reach an ultimate height of 30m and a
spread of 15m.
