We are just harvesting Sweet Chestnut<\/a> (Castanea sativa) – Judia, today 5th Oct 2018. We have got to beat the squirrels, mind you they do find it tough going with all those spines. Some of the nuts are still a bit white, but they will ripen up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\" \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018Judia\u2019\u2019 is extensively planted in new orchards in Portugal, mainly due to its better fruit size, (60 fruits\/kg), good fruit appearance, \ufb02at shape, adequate for cooking, and excellent for fresh consumption.<\/p>\n

\n

Normally, farmers plant seedlings of C. sativa as a rootstock and grafting them with Judia material collected from self selected trees. In order to improve its valorisation. In 1994 there were created two protected designation of origin (PDO) called \u201cCastanha da Terra Fria\u201d and \u201cCastanha da Padrela\u201d. The first PDO corresponds to an area comprising between Bragan\u00e7a and Macedo de Cavaleiros and second one to a region with Valpa\u00e7os being its centre.<\/p>\n

In both regions there are chestnut trees growing at an altitude of 600 m to 1000 m. In \u201cCastanha da Padrela\u201d Judia represents almost 90% of total production.<\/p>\n

However, Judia shows some adaptative constraints to summer\u2019s high temperatures as it is
\nfrequently happening nowadays in both regions as a consequence of climatic changes. According to studies the optimal temperature for photosynthesis in Judia is about 24\u00baC
\nbeing its production strongly reduced (above 50%) when temperature goes up 32\u00baC.<\/p>\n

This ideal temperature range makes it very suitable for UK climates.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
