If it's a sweet chestnut, you should have no trouble getting
worthwhile crops of nuts, though the individual nuts may be a bit
smaller than you anticipate.

There are plenty of fine chestnut trees and woods in East Anglia, and
while recent winters have been nothing like seriously cold,
historically, it was always one of the coldest areas in winter.


Ah, so it's a matter of summer conditions, then?
