Walnuts are among the oldest cultivated food trees in the world, valued for thousands of years for their nutritious nuts, magnificent timber and long life. The English or Persian Walnut (Juglans regia) grows into a beautiful deciduous shade tree with handsome foliage and golden autumn colour, rewarding patient gardeners with generous harvests for decades. Well suited to cool temperate parts of Australia, a walnut tree is a lasting investment that future generations can continue to enjoy. See our walnut growing guide and history of walnuts in Australia for more information.
