Planting and start
Chestnut trees are preferably planted in autumn or early spring. Provide a spacious planting hole and loose, well-drained soil to allow the roots to develop deeply. Water sufficiently after planting to promote good rooting.
Stand and soil
Chestnuts like space and light.
- A sunny to slightly shaded position is ideal
- Deep, well-drained soil prevents wet feet
- Slightly acidic to neutral soil promotes healthy growth
Care during the year
- Water during prolonged drought, especially on young trees
- Mulch around the trunk helps improve soil structure and retain moisture
- Light fertilisation in spring supports growth
Pruning and maintenance
Chestnut trees require little pruning.
- Prune only if necessary and preferably in summer
- Remove dead, damaged or crossing branches
- Give the tree enough space to maintain its natural shape
With proper care, a chestnut tree grows into a strong, characterful tree that will be a valuable addition to the garden for generations.
