Castanea sativa bournette v.30 h.150-170 cm

Grow chestnut in sun or partial shade, in moist, well-drained soil. It is a large tree, so is only suitable for very large gardens. However it can be coppiced and kept to a smaller size. You need to water the young plant regularly throughout its growing season. It will help the tree produce larger, fuller-sized nuts after 3 years. Make sure that the plant gets an inch of water at the root zone every week. As the soil is fast-draining, you may need to water the plant 2-3 times a week. The soil should be moist at all times but not soggy.To grow a Chestnut tree, you need a mixture of all essential nutrients. An all-purpose, balanced fertiliser is deemed best for its growth. You may also add well-rotted compost around the root area for added benefits.
