no longer available Sweet Chestnut BOUCHE de BÉTIZAC - winter scionwood for spring grafting

Early large-fruited sweet chestnut with early yield onset. Can be grown up to 400 m above sea level. The high resistance to common tree diseases makes the Bouche de Betizac a first choice, even for the non-professional gardener.

Vigour: moderate, compact, upright, can reach a height of about 8 m in the garden, dense round crown
Blossom: pollen is sterile. Cross-pollinate, therefore requires the presence of a pollinator in its vicinity, for example different varieties ofCastanea sativa or hybrids of C.sativa x C.crenata.
Fruits: large, very tasty, firm, shiny, mahogany red
Harvest season: early, September. Can be stored until the end of February. The tree has an early yield onset after planting.
Disease and frost resistance: resistant to parasitic fungus Phytophthora ramorum, frost hardy
Usage: for commercial cultivation and in home gardens

We draw your attention to the quarantine pest of the sweet chestnut, Dryocosmus kuriphilus, which appeared for the first time in Central Europe.
