Do walnut trees grow in the UK?
Yes, walnut trees do grow in the UK. The walnut is native from south-east Europe to south-west China and has been widely planted throughout the UK. It has naturalised in lowland Britain, often found in secondary woodland, hedgerows, riverbanks, field-borders, and roadsides.
Can you grow an almond tree in the UK?

How long does a walnut tree take to fruit?
The average walnut tree starts to produce nuts between eight and nine years of age. There are instances where walnut trees begin producing around 15-22 lbs. (7-10 kg) of nuts as early as five to seven years. Most commercial walnut orchards reach their peak production level at around 30 years or more.
Can you eat wild hazelnuts in the UK?
Yes, you can eat wild hazelnuts in the UK. Most ripe nuts are found in September and October, depending on the weather. Once the nuts grow to full maturity and dry out a bit, they become edible. When the papery outer covering starts to pull back from the nut, they are safe to eat.
