Sweet chestnuts(Castanea sativa)
Loved by the Romans and now a roasted winter treat here in the UK. These long-lived giants, with their prickly husks and deeply grooved bark, give us our classic Christmas nut.
What does sweet chestnut look like?
Flowers
Long, yellow catkins of mostly male flowers, with female flowers at the base. Sweet chestnut is monoecious, meaning both male and female flowers are found on the same tree.
Fruits
After pollination by insects, female flowers develop into shiny, red-brown fruits wrapped in a green, spiky case. The trees begin to bear fruit when they are around 25 years old.
