- The chestnut tree 'Marlhac' is a beautiful, massive fruit tree. Its height towers over ornamental and fruit trees, and its wide crown creates a shade for gatherings. The tree has beautifully shaped, dark green, leathery leaves with serrated edges and short, pointed thorns. In autumn, they turn light brown to yellow-brown and create a protective layer on the soil.
The buds of the Castanea sativa variety 'Marlhac' open from February and develop in March and April.
On small spike-like stems, small greenish-white to light yellow flowers with pollen and nectar grow, which are a magnet for bees and other insects. During the flowering period, a bitter to pungent odor spreads around the chestnut tree 'Marlhac'.
During the summer, dark brown fruits develop on a light green, prickly skin.
This variety is characterized by very large and very aromatic fruits.
The tree produces edible fruit after only two to three years.
Chestnut trees are widespread in the southern regions of Europe and their fruit is commonly used in wine regions.
Castanea sativa 'Marlhac' delights with exceptionally large, sweet, floury chestnuts.
The chestnut tree "Marlhac" comes from France and loves places with warm soil and plenty of sun. The tree grows quickly and needs space.
A large garden, a plot with a large meadow or a park provide the right space.
The site should not be too windy, the soil can be dry and may contain sand and stones. Castanea sativa 'Marlhac' grows deep into the soil with a taproot, which is supported in the upper layer of the soil by a dense and wide root system.
When choosing a site, it is important to ensure sufficient distance from other trees, buildings, paths and roads.
The male and female flowers of the chestnut tree "Marlhac" open at different times.
If the tree is to produce a large number of fruits, a second chestnut tree is needed to fertilize the flowers. This beautiful tree is hardy, does not require regular pruning and is easy to care for.
Castanea sativa 'Marlhac' is ideal for areas with a mild wine-growing climate, as damaging late frosts cannot be expected here.
