  • Product number: 822460.1
  • Origin: Central and Southern Europe
  • Latin: Castanea sativa

For people with a (very) large garden or for a plot where a large tree (25-35 m) can stand... In a 1 m³ pot, you can also turn it into a large bonsai. The Celts brought the tree to Northern Europe, the Romans ensured its further spread... Who doesn't know the fire pits with roasted chestnuts? So you can roast the chestnuts, but it's easier to boil them. In many countries, including France, South Tyrol, and Hungary, chestnut puree ("Crème de Marron", "Gesztenyepüré") is popular in desserts or as a side dish. It can be bought canned or ground from the freezer. In numerous countries, particularly in Central Europe, hot chestnuts are sold on the street to passers-by in winter (in Switzerland, for example, they are called 'Marroni').
