About the Persian Walnut Tree
The Persian Walnut, more commonly called the English Walnut (Juglans regia) is a deciduous tree originally found in the mountain region of Central Asia. Walnuts are often planted for shade, lumber, wildlife, and of course for their delicious crop of nuts.
The fruit is green in color, with a semi-fleshy covering and a brown uneven nut. The seed is large, slightly hard and fleshy. The Persian walnut produces valuable and high-quality lumber. It is very hard and beautiful when used for flooring, furniture, and tools. The best time to harvest walnuts is between September and November. Walnuts are nutritious and great for cooking, baking, and snacking.
The best condition of growth for the trees is rich, deep soil with full sunlight. Once established, these trees require little maintenance.
