Patte de Loup du Volvestre suits traditional orchards with deep, acidic, well-drained soil and enough room for a vigorous tree. We recommend it to lovers of richly flavoured heritage chestnuts, particularly good for roasting and storage. Its relatively late budbreak is useful. The tree eventually becomes large and requires another chestnut cultivar nearby for reliable cropping.
