Share
It is a very long-lived, vigorous, and productive deciduous tree, reaching 30 meters in height. Its leaves are lanceolate and dark green with serrated edges. Flowering, abundant but brief, occurs in June and July, with both male and female flowers. These chestnuts ripen in October; they are large and rounded with dark brown skin and creamy-white flesh. They can be eaten fresh or used in various culinary preparations. The chestnut tree is a hardy plant that tolerates low temperatures well, adapts to sunny or partially shaded locations, and does not require special soil, but prefers a well-drained substrate. Watering should be moderate, as the tree tolerates short periods of drought.
