Walnut Facts: The walnut tree typically grows to be about 70 to 90 feet (21 to 27 meters) in height. It requires full sun to grow well. The trunk diameter is usually about 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters). Often other plants cannot grow underneath walnut trees because the roots, fallen leaves, and husks contain juglone. Juglone is a naturally occurring chemical in Walnut that acts as a natural herbicide. Walnut trees can live for more than 200 years.
