If you like the idea of roasting chestnuts, then this handsome tree will provide you will bucket-fulls when it has had a chance to become established (usually after 5 or more years). It is a mid-season variety, which will produce high quality nuts, that store well after being harvested. It is partially self-fertile, so does not need a pollination partner, but it will produce an even bigger crop if there is another chestnut planted nearby. - Garden care: Remove crossing or wayward branches when dormant in late winter or early spring. When roasting the nuts, make sure you prick them first to stop them exploding.
