(Chestnuts roasting on an open fire 🔥...........) Sweet chestnut is a deciduous tree which can grow quite large when mature and live for up to 700 years. They belong to the same family as oaks and beeches.
The flowers provide an important source of nectar and pollen for bees and other insects, while red squirrels eat the nuts. A large number of micro-moths feed on the leaves and nuts
