The sweet chestnut was introduced into Europe from Sardis, in Asia Minor and had provided food to mainly southern Europe for centuries. Chestnuts produce a better crop when subjected to chill temperatures during the dormant period. As such it is ideally suited to Northern Europe and are some of the first plants to bud in Spring.
