A rarely offered walnut species, native to the Middle East, its hard wood gives material to one of the most expensive furnitures. The green coated nuts are very hard to break but the seed is edible, if a but more bitter then the common walnut. The seedcoat is used for a variety of purposes for decoration: necklace, watches, etc...Extremely fast grower, it will need a lot of space if one wants to let it mature in a garden. 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 spectacular yellow Autumn coloration. The large leaves have a special, strong scent. We have germinated seeds, planted into 1L deep pot on offer, the seedling will grow up to 30-40cm in a few months time.
