Bouche de Betizac
France
-
Second half of September
The French chestnut cultivar De Betizac was developed in 1962 by INRA at the Malemort-sur-Corrèze station near Brive. It is a controlled hybrid between Castanea sativa and Castanea crenata (female Bouche rouge × male Castanea crenata CA04). It is the most widely planted variety. The nuts ripen significantly earlier than domestic chestnuts, achieving higher market prices. The fruits are highly suitable for fresh sale and consumption.
The flesh has an excellent taste.
The fruit is light, light chestnut-brown, quickly turning to medium or dark brown. Each spiny husk contains two to three large nuts weighing 15–20 grams. The nuts peel easily.
Partially self-fertile. Good pollinators: Marsol, Maraval, Precocce Miguele, Madonna, Inserta.
Sensitive to spring frosts. Resistant to chestnut blight and the chestnut gall wasp.
You can purchase seedlings of Grafted Chestnut De Betizac at our garden center in the nursery located at Gornjem Crnjelovu, Glavna 65a.
Upon collection of the goods (seedlings), the Agromedžik nursery no longer has the possibility of supervision or care, and therefore cannot provide any further guarantee. Since seedlings are living beings, it is not possible to give a guarantee even a day after they leave the nursery. We cannot influence their maintenance and care, and consequently their further growth and development.
Our plants regularly undergo phytosanitary and vegetative inspections, therefore we do not have diseased or infected plants.
Planting is done from late October to mid-April, avoiding periods of frost and drought.
Trim the roots, then the branches into 3 to 4 rings. At the beginning of March, cut the seedlings to a height of 80 - 120 cm.
Before planting, soak the plant in water for at least 2 - 3 hours.
Dig a hole, in the previously prepared soil, measuring 60 x 60 x 50 cm for the soil (40 x 40 x 40 cm) so that the roots and part of the stem are well placed, taking care that the grafting point is outside the soil.
Place the plant in the hole and cover it with dry soil, gently press it down so that it gets well between the roots.
Fertilizer and seedling roots must not be in direct contact.
Pour with 20-30 liters of water. During periods of drought in the first year of planting, it is necessary to water young seedlings more often.
Containerized seedlings can be planted throughout the year.
*Applies to bare root seedlings.
