Morphology
The compound simply combines the adjective 'English' (pertaining to England) with the noun 'walnut' to denote a walnut associated with or originating from England (i.e., an English variety). This nationality+noun pattern to indicate type or origin is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
English walnut may come from the tree being grown a lot in England and its strong, dark walnut 'wood' being sold for fine furniture. So today English walnut can mean the tree itself or the nice 'wood' used to make furniture.
