Castanea sativa ‘ Marone ‘
Bare Rooted

Castanea sativa ‘Marone’ (Chestnut ‘Marone’) is a premium European sweet chestnut variety valued for its large, high-quality nuts, excellent flavour, and strong growth. This deciduous tree forms an attractive, broad canopy with lush green foliage that provides summer shade and transforms into warm golden and bronze shades in autumn.

‘Marone’ produces large, uniform, glossy brown chestnuts enclosed in spiny green burrs. The nuts have a sweet, rich flavour with a smooth texture, making them highly suitable for roasting, baking, confectionery, and fresh eating. It is known for its good nut size, attractive appearance, and reliable production when grown in suitable conditions.

This hardy and long-lived chestnut thrives in full sun and prefers deep, fertile, well-drained soils. It establishes well in temperate climates and benefits from regular watering during early growth. For the best yields, planting with another compatible chestnut variety is recommended to improve pollination and increase nut production.

With its combination of ornamental beauty, autumn colour, and delicious harvest, Castanea sativa ‘Marone’ is an excellent choice for home orchards, edible gardens, and larger landscape plantings.
