This bare root tree fits perfectly into smaller gardens or even large containers, making it accessible for urban growers and those with modest plots.

Key Benefits & Features

• Space-Saving: 'Europa' remains compact with a tidy growth habit, typically reaching up to 2–3 metres at maturity—ideal for limited spaces.

Caring for Your Walnut 'Europa'
