FLOWERS
 

Chestnut tree flowers are slender, creamy-white or pale yellow catkins that bloom in late spring to early summer. Male flowers are more prominent, while female flowers are smaller and less noticeable. They emit a sweet, musky fragrance, attracting pollinators.

FRUITS
 

The fruits of the chestnut tree are spiny, green husks that split open in autumn to reveal shiny, brown chestnuts. Each husk typically contains one to three nuts, encased in a smooth shell with a flattened, slightly pointed shape.

WHERE TO FIND

Chestnut trees thrive in temperate regions across Europe, Asia, and North America. They prefer well-drained, fertile soils and sunny locations, often found in woodlands, parks, and gardens. They grow in both lowlands and foothills, favouring mild, moist climates.
