Chestnut tree

 

The multiplication of the chestnut is carried out in its major part by layering. We multiply hybrid varieties resistant to Phytophtora, like Marigoule (CA 15, M15) or Bouche de Bétizac.

Chestnut tees seedbed

Each year these mothers trees produce young growths which we ring during May, then that we short props with ground throughout the season. The seedlings produced are then taken in the current of the next winter.
