PLANT TYPE

Nut-bearing

European chestnut (Castanea sativa) is a traditional nut tree cultivated for centuries for its sweet, edible chestnuts and strong timber. The tree develops a tall trunk and wide canopy, making it suitable for open landscapes and orchards. Chestnuts are rich in carbohydrates, fibre, and minerals and are commonly roasted or used in culinary preparations. With the right growing conditions, chestnut trees become long-term, productive additions to gardens and farms.
