Chestnut

Chestnut (Castanea sativa), also known as Sweet chestnut or Spanish chestnut, comes from the Latin word "Castanea" originating from Asia Minor and the Caucasus region. It is a deciduous tree of the Fagaceae family. It produces fruit: chestnuts. When the trees are in abundance in a defined area, it forms a chestnut grove. In autumn, this foliage turns into a pretty yellow colour, which quickly turns brown. As with Oak and Beech, two trees of the same family, the leaves of Chestnut remain on the tree for part of the winter. This vegetation doesn't flower until after about twenty years.

About Malicorne-sur-Sarthe

Located south-west of Le Mans, the Malicorne-sur-Sarthe forest is a contiguous woodland covering approximately 70 hectares within a larger complex of several hundred hectares. Its geological base is quite favourable for forest production.
However, the forest soils are relatively poor, except in some elevated areas where the soil is more clayey, particularly along the edge of the pond. These soil characteristics, therefore, favour the production of softwood species, which are better adapted to poor soils than hardwood species. As for rainfall, it is sufficient and well distributed throughout the year.
Our objective is to manage this forest as an irregular high-forest, with stands divided into three main plant associations: Maritime pine, bracken, and common heather, sporadically associated with native broadleaved species: chestnut, downy oak, birch and wild cherry; oak-chestnut woodland associated with bramble; mixed oak woodland with hazel, aspen and occasionally European hornbeam.
