Castanea henryi
Species of plant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castanea henryi, Henry chestnut, Henry's chestnut, or Chinese chinquapin (a name it shares with Castanea seguinii), pearl chestnut, and in Chinese 錐栗 (zhui li), is a species of chestnut native to south-central and southeast China.[2] A tree reaching 30 m, it is a source of good timber, but has smaller nuts than its size might suggest. Like its close relative Castanea mollissima (Chinese chestnut), it is widely cultivated in China, and quite a few varieties have been developed in recent times.[3]
