Walnut Tree (Juglans)

Juglans is a genus of deciduous trees known for their high-quality timber and edible nuts. These majestic trees feature large, pinnately compound leaves and a distinctive chambered pith in their twigs. They typically develop a broad, rounded crown and a deep taproot, making them difficult to transplant. Most species are allelopathic, producing juglone to inhibit competing plants. They thrive in deep, fertile, well-drained soils and require ample space to reach their full potential.
