Walnut ‘Europa’ is a dwarf variety that can be grown on your patio or in small gardens, maxing out at 3.5m tall when unrestricted – which unlike the common walnut that grows to 30m! Cropping within only 2-3 years, meaning you will have home-grown nuts before long, bursting from this delightful specimen tree along with its handsome green leaves and pale bark, turning silver over age. Height and Spread: 3.5m (11.5’).
Growing Information
Grow walnut trees in moist, slightly acid, well drained soil in full sun. When growing walnut trees, choose a sheltered position as young trees are easily damaged by frosts. Prior to planting walnut trees, incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil, and drive a stake into the planting hole to support the tree once it is planted. Plant walnut trees at the same soil level as they were growing at the nursery, and use a tree tie to fasten the tree to the stake.
