Overview: Juglans regia, commonly known as Himalayan Walnut, Indian Walnut, or Tibetan Walnut, is a majestic deciduous tree native to the Himalayan region. Renowned for its high-quality nuts and valuable timber, this species has been cultivated for centuries. Historically, its nuts have been a staple food, and its wood has been prized for fine carpentry and traditional crafts. The tree plays a vital role in the Himalayan ecosystem, providing food and shelter for wildlife while contributing to soil stabilization.
Characteristics: Himalayan Walnut trees grow to a height of 20–25 meters with a broad, spreading canopy. Its bark is light gray, while its pinnate leaves consist of 5–9 leaflets, each measuring 8–15 cm in length. The tree produces green, round fruits containing a hard shell encasing the edible seed. Mature nuts are typically 4–5 cm in diameter and have a creamy, rich kernel. Juglans regia is known for its longevity, with trees living for over 100 years in favorable conditions.
Taste and Nutritional Benefits: The nuts of Himalayan Walnut are celebrated for their rich, buttery flavor and high nutritional value. They are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, vitamins (notably vitamin E and B-complex), and essential minerals such as manganese and magnesium. Regular consumption of walnuts supports heart health, brain function, and overall well-being.
Cultivation Guidelines: • Climate: Thrives in temperate climates with well-drained, fertile soils.

Plant seeds directly into the ground or seed trays, ensuring a depth of 2–3 cm. • Watering: Requires consistent watering during the initial growth stages, transitioning to moderate watering as the tree matures. • Growth Period: Himalayan Walnut trees are slow-growing and may take 5–7 years to begin producing nuts, but they are highly rewarding and long-lasting additions to any landscape.
