ENGLISH WALNUT * JUGLANS REGIA

Russia, and Northern India.

the species are hardy, and very valuable part trees, with a massive,
straight trunk, and a light and airy broad top. Though many fungi
and insets prey on the walnut, none of them does very serious
damage.

grown in the warmer parts of Europe, in California and in the
East from Pennsylvania to Georgia.
- Grows best in moderately moist, rich soil.
- Grows to 70 ft.
