The walnut (Juglans regia) is a tree of the family Juglandeae. It was introduced into Britain from Asia in the 15th century. It is a spreading tree and grows to a height of around 15 metres with a short bole which may grow to six metres in circumference and is covered with rugged grey bark. It bears fruit similar to a plum, the stone of which is eaten and the timber is light but tough and makes attractive furniture. Research Walnut
