Castanea Crenata Var. Stricta

Castanea crenata var. stricta is a rare and ancient species of chestnut native to Japan. Known for its dense foliage and strong, edible nuts, it has been cultivated for centuries. This variety is characterized by its upright growth habit and smaller, more compact form compared to its relatives. It thrives in temperate climates and is valued for both its ornamental beauty and nutritional content. Due to its declining population, conservation efforts are crucial to its survival.
