Marigoule suits large gardens and orchards with deep, acidic, well-drained soil. We recommend it to growers seeking large, glossy marrons valued for fresh eating and good storage. Resistance to ink disease is a major advantage. The tree is vigorous and early budding, while pollination can be unreliable in wet weather, so several suitable pollinators are preferable.

Marigoule chestnut tree, a disease-resistant hybrid producing large glossy brown-red nuts, harvested in October.
Marigoule chestnut tree produces large, glossy brown-red chestnuts with good storage ability.
Marigoule, whose name comes from Marron de Migoule, is a chestnut variety appreciated on the fresh market.
This variety is a hybrid between European and Japanese chestnut, Castanea sativa × Castanea crenata. It is resistant to ink disease, which has caused major damage to chestnut trees since the nineteenth century.
Harvest takes place in October, and the nuts keep well.
Budbreak is early, but Marigoule is not very sensitive to spring frosts compared with more classic fruit trees such as apple or pear.
This variety was obtained in the Migoule orchard, in Ussac, Corrèze, in 1986.
We supply Marigoule chestnut trees in several forms, grown on their own roots depending on availability.
