The plant
Botanical Family : Fagaceae
Plant part: Bud
Origin: France
Close to us, as a majestic tree, the chestnut tree, whose rough and cracked bark bears witness to its long history, dominates the forests of all of Europe, Asia Minor and North America. It prefers rich, well-drained soils, and can live for several hundred years.
Its large, deciduous, serrated leaves resemble those of oak, but are narrower and elongated. In spring, it produces white or pink flowers grouped in long clusters, which attract bees and butterflies. In autumn, its thorny bugs contain delicious chestnuts, rich in carbohydrates and minerals, which are very popular in cooking.
A symbol of strength and wisdom, longevity and generosity, the chestnut tree is often associated with prosperity and abundance. Its strong and durable wood is used in carpentry and cabinetmaking to make furniture and craft objects.
Very present in Ardèche, the chestnut tree reveals itself to us during magnificent walks in the forest, offering its benevolent shade and its tasty fruits to walkers and the animals which inhabit its surroundings. An unforgettable encounter with an emblematic tree of our regions.
