The sweet chestnut likes it warm and sunny
What is the perfect location for the sweet chestnut?
To collect tasty chestnuts from your own garden is more than just planting a tree somewhere and waiting. Among other things, it is also necessary to prevent insufficient fertilization or damage caused by late frost.
However, choosing a variety that is right for your region, a carefully chosen location, and good care does not make a rich harvest any kind of rocket science. The sweet chestnut prefers warm and light, in a humus rich and well drained soil. Prolonged waterlogging puts much more on her than a period of drought. A second chestnut nearby increases the fertilization rate and its harvest.
