Jixian chestnut

Jixian chestnut

Chestnut in Jixian County is one of the earliest cultivated fruit trees in China, with a cultivation history of about 2000-3000 years. The leaves are lanceolate or oblong, and the leaf margin is serrated. Flowers unisexual, monoecious; The male flower is an inflorescence. When it matures, the involucre splits and the chestnut falls off. Nuts are purple-brown, tawny, or nearly smooth, with yellowish flesh. Fruit contains sugar, starch, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Chestnut varieties in China can be roughly divided into two categories: northern chestnut and southern chestnut. The northern chestnut has small nuts and waxy flesh, which is suitable for frying. The famous varieties are Ming chestnut, Jiantou oil chestnut and Ming Jian chestnut. Southern chestnut nuts are large, and the flesh is japonica, which is suitable for vegetable use. There are nine varieties, such as Kuili, shallow-pricked big chestnut and so on. The tree is strong. The root system is developed and there is mycorrhiza symbiosis. It is drought-resistant and barren-resistant, and is suitable for mountain cultivation. Suitable for acidic soil. Multi-row seeding can also be grafted and propagated. Wood is dense, hard and moisture-resistant. Branches, bark and involucre contain tannin, and tannin extract can be extracted. Chestnut has a long history. Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty clearly recorded "Yan, Qin Qian Shu Li ... all of them are with thousands of families, etc." in Biography of Huo Zhi in Historical Records. In the Biography of Su Qin, there is a saying that "Qin said that Yan Wen waits for the day: there is the mercy of Jieshi Yanmen in the south, and the benefit of jujube and chestnut in the north. Although the people don't work hard, they are full of jujube and chestnut, which is called abundance". Lu Ji in the Western Jin Dynasty also commented on the Book of Songs, saying, "Chestnuts can be found in all five directions, but those born in Yuyang and Fanyang are sweet and delicious, and the place is not as good as it is." It can be seen that the working people in our country have cultivated chestnut as early as 4000 years ago.
