How to plant a chestnut tree?
To plant chestnut trees in the ground, we recommend choosing a sunny spot sheltered from the wind. The best time to plant is during the tree's dormancy period, i.e. in autumn or early spring. It is important to dig a sufficiently large hole and prepare the soil well by amending with organic compost to encourage the tree's growth.
It is essential to choose varieties suited to your climate and to prefer grafted chestnut trees for better productivity. It's also advisable to plant young chestnut trees at least 5 metres apart to allow them to develop properly.

As far as watering is concerned, chestnut trees appreciate constant but not excessive humidity. It is therefore important to ensure that the soil remains cool, especially during hot, dry periods. Finally, regular tree maintenance, such as pruning and disease protection, is essential to ensure a good chestnut harvest.
