In the monastery garden there is this beautiful, large chestnut tree, which bears so many fruits that you want to harvest them straight away. Great to see!

The yellow-brown, prickly fruit cup that encloses the 3-4 nuts until they fall out is characteristic of the fruit.

The sweet chestnut belongs to the beech family (Fagaceae) and is not related to the common horse chestnut, which is common in Germany. The sweet chestnut has been widespread in the Mediterranean, Asia Minor and the Caucasus since the last ice age. It is believed that it was introduced north of the Alps by the Romans and naturalized in the wine-growing regions. The tree is still relatively rare in Germany and is found sporadically in warmer and milder regions such as the Rhine plain, on the Moselle and on the Main, especially in mixed oak forests. In terms of silviculture, the sweet chestnut may play a greater role in the future as part of climate change. The light-loving woody plant needs a warm and mild climate. It is very sensitive to late and early frosts. It grows quickly when young and prefers acidic, permeable and nutrient-rich soils. The tree can live up to 500 years and grows up to 30 m tall and forms a spreading crown of up to 15 m
