NOTE: The terms English Walnut and Juglansregia are identical in this text; in reality, Juglansregia is English Walnut’s biological word.
The large oddly named “English” walnut tree, which is actually native to central Asia, is a beautiful and useful tree for its Aesthetics and food-growing abilities alike. If you have a room and want to add a specimen or shade tree, it is a great tree to grow.
The nuts of Juglans regia are easier to harvest than the black walnuts as they fall without the husk and can be eaten raw or used in cooking.

Here are some indicators of yellowing on the Juglansregia brought on by its numerous flaws:
- The first symptom of a magnesium deficiency is yellow patches between leaf veins on elder leaves. The leaf’s core turns yellow while the veins stay green. The edges of the leaf yellow last.
- Iron deficiency also shows as yellowing between leaf veins, but it hits young leaves on plant tops and branch tips first.
- The newest leaves are first affected by sulfur deficiency, rendering them completely yellow.
- Insufficient potassium causes the leaf edges to turn brilliant yellow while the interior of the leaf stays green. Older leaves show the symptoms initially, and the leaf edges quickly darken.
- A lack of nitrogen is indicated by a widespread yellowing. Older, inner leaves are the first to yellow. As the yellowing progresses, it eventually touches young leaves as well.

Is my English Walnut sunburned?
It is quite easy to find out if your English Walnut (Juglansregia) has been burned by the sun. Just like on us, your plant will change color in this case, it will start to turn yellow or white.
As we saw above, the leaves of your English Walnut can also change color if it receives too much water or insufficient light.
To find out if the yellow leaves have been sunburned, look at the part of the bottom that is tinted closer to the base. The yellow leaf is probably burnt and not something else if this portion stays greener.
Why are my English Walnut leaves turning brown?

Should I leave my Juglansregia in direct sunlight?
No! If your Juglansregia (or English Walnut) has the symptoms described above, don’t leave it in direct sunlight, that’s the reason why your English Walnut is in such a state!
Our Solution
The remedy, as said in the paragraph above, is simple: just move your plant’s English Walnut out of direct sunlight. Your plant should swiftly re-grow with this strategy and appropriate watering.
Why are my Juglansregia leaves drooping or wilting ?
In most cases, this happens when your Juglansregia lacks water. This is especially the case for large plants, naturally they need more water than others.
An easy way to know if your Juglansregia is lacking water is to under-weigh its pot, if it looks light, it means that the soil and the roots are probably quite dry, and therefore need water!
Our Solution
In order to ensure that the roots of your plant receive the water’s benefits, you must first moisten the soil in the container if it is absolutely dry. One common error is to immediately drown the English Walnut after a dry period in the belief that it requires a lot of water.
This is true, but the easiest way to end it is to give too much water at once. Instead, you should water the soil properly, returning to a peaceful watering rhythm.
Caring Tips for Juglansregia
Water Occasionally
Water is essential to the survival of your plant, however, it is important to balance the rate of watering. As we explained above, overwatering could have fatal consequences for your Juglansregia.
Touching the soil will let you know whether your plant needs water or not; if it still feels damp, it’s generally best to wait a few more days.
Always keep temperatures stable
It’s also a good idea to keep your Juglansregia at a constant temperature, especially if it’s kept indoors. In general, at GreenShack, we suggest booking a temperature between 65 and 85 degrees F. Of course, keep your Juglansregia away from radiators, air conditioners, and other sources of hot or cold air.
Keep your English Walnut Dust-Free
This one relates to indoor plants. Just like your furniture, dust collects on the leaves of your indoor plants. The issue is that this can block the photosynthesis process from starting, which would cause the plants to gradually lose their color.
For your English Walnut, this would be a true descent into hell, and it would also appease the pests.
Take a microfiber cloth and gently massage the plant’s leaves to get rid of the dust. Use a damp cloth to make dust removal easier, but avoid using corrosive materials like rubbing alcohol!
Keep drainage in mind
If you tend to overwater, you need to pay attention to your drainage, and we advise choosing a saucer and a pot with drainage holes if they are not already there.
In the meantime, if you don’t have holes in your pots, you can add volcanic rocks (or any rocks with holes) at the bottom of your pot, this way it will create a channel so that the water doesn’t stay in your skin too much (to avoid that roots start to rot!)
