The well known edible walnut species, native to the Middle East, their hard wood gives material to one of the most expensive furnitures. Its nuts are relatively easy break and the seed is very tasty. It is not too fussy to soil conditions and has good drought and cold tolerance. The older trees develop a decorative, fissured bark and it offers some yellow Autumn coloration. The large leaves have a special, strong scent. We have fresh seedlings of 20cm which will grow up to 30-40cm in a few months time. Common Walnut produces chemicals which can inhibit the growth of other plants. These chemicals are dissolved out of the leaves when it rains and are washed down to the ground below, reducing the growth of plants under the tree. The roots also produce substances that are toxic to many plant species, especially apples (Malus species), members of the Ericaceae, Potentilla and the white pines. Beans, peas and tomatoes are also particularly sensitive to these secretions and will not grow in the rooting zone. The bruised leaves have a pleasant sweet though resinous smell but may cause skin irritation.
