In the film based on the novel by E. M. Forster, Howards End, Mrs. Ruth Wilcox ( Vanessa Redgrave) tells of her childhood home, where superstitious farmers would place pigs' teeth in the bark of the chestnut trees and then chew on this bark to ease toothaches. In the novel, the tree is actually a Wych elm. Les débuts de l'agriculture en France: Les défrichements. By Guy Jalut. 1976. In La Préhistoire Française, Vol. 2: 180–5. Paris.

The oak roller weevil ( Attelabus nitens) causes relatively less damage by rolling up the leaves into a barrel shape to shelter its eggs and developing larvae. The insects swarm from the end of April to mid-June, and damage the tree's flower buds during their feeding season. [85] For other uses of "chestnut", see Chestnut (disambiguation).

Greg Miller, Blossom End Rot of Chestnut: A Small Problem Becomes a Big Problem, The Chestnut Grower, Winter 2017Chestnut wood is a useful source of natural tannin and was used for tanning leather before the introduction of synthetic tannins. [60] On a 10% moisture basis, the bark contains 6.8% tannin and the wood 13.4%. [108] The bark imparts a dark color to the tannin, and has a higher sugar content, which increases the percentage of soluble non-tans, or impurities, in the extract; so it was not employed in this use. [109] Chestnut tannin is obtained by hot-water extraction of chipped wood. It is an ellagic tannin and its main constituents are identified by castalagin (14.2%) and vescalagin (16.2%). [110] [111] Chestnuts are often added to animal fodder. A first soak in limewater removes their bitter flavour, then they are ground and mixed with the ordinary provender. Other methods of preparation are also used. It is given to horses and cattle in the Orient, [22] and to pigs in England, [22] France [43] and other places. The leaves are not as prone to be insect-eaten as those of the oak, and are also used for fodder.

In George Orwell's 1984 the chestnut tree is used in poems recited throughout (modifying "The Chestnut Tree" by Glen Miller 1939: "Underneath the spreading chestnut tree / I loved him and he loved me / There I used to sit up on his knee / ´Neath the spreading chestnut tree."), referring to nature, modern life, and lines as in the saying: 'that old chestnut'. [ clarification needed] Chestnuts are considered self-sterile, [73] [77] so at least two trees are needed for pollination. [70] Soil requirements [ edit ] Ví dụ: In the latter stages of cooking add water chestnuts , small corns, green beans and a tin of coconut milk. It has a naturally low pH value, relatively low salts content, and high acids content. This determines its astringency and its capability to fix raw hides. These properties make chestnut extract especially suitable for the tanning of heavy hides and to produce leather soles for high-quality shoes in particular. It is possible to obtain a leather with high yield in weight, which is compact, firm, flexible, and waterproof. Chestnut-tanned leathers are elastic, lightfast, resistant to traction and abrasion, and have warm color. [112] [113]

While I no longer take people through outdoor markets and supermarkets anymore (online, or in real life), if you go on your own, there are a variety of other brands to choose from, although Clément Faugier is the most prominent and popular you’ll come across. And there’s a surprise on the bottom when turn the empty can over; you can meet Marono, their mascot, and thank him for leading you on a tasty adventure. Their popularity declined during the last few centuries, partly due to their reputation of "food for poor people". [43] Many people did not want to take chestnut bread as " bread" because chestnut flour does not rise. Some slandered chestnut products in such words as the bread which "gives a sallow complexion" written in 1770, [44] or in 1841 "this kind of mortar which is called a soup". [45] The last decades' worldwide renewal may have profited from the huge reforestation efforts started in the 1930s in the United States to establish varieties of C. sativa which may be resistant to chestnut blight, as well as to relieve the strain on cereal supplies.

Chestnut fruit may not exhibit epigeal dormancy. It may germinate right upon falling to the ground in the autumn, with the roots emerging from the seed right away and the leaves and stem the following spring. The germ can lose viability soon after ripening and under drying conditions.
