Regal

Full Description

Description: Chestnut Regal is an attractive tree, more compact than other Sweet Chestnuts, growing to 5m in 10 years. Shiny green leaves and fragrant blossom in summer, followed by delicious brown nuts in October.

Chestnut Growing Tips: Happier planted on lighter soils, acid to neutral is best, avoid chalk if possible. They dislike waterlogged soils, which can encourage ‘ink disease’ symtoms. Make sure you harvest the nuts daily to avoid the attention of hungry vermin!
