How many pounds of chestnuts are produced per mu?

Chestnut yield per mu

Chestnuts will only bear fruit 2-3 years after planting. If properly maintained, they can enter the peak fruit-bearing period in 7-8 years, and the yield per mu can reach about 250-300 kilograms, but the specific yield depends on factors such as variety and planting environment.

Chestnut Planting Profits

Chestnut is a plant with high planting cost and high returns. Generally speaking, it costs at least 7,000 yuan to plant one acre of chestnuts. If 10 acres are planted, the income can reach more than 20,000 yuan.

Nowadays, the production of chestnuts has been increasing year by year, and the price has also been rising, but it is relatively stable, and the demand abroad is also very large, so the prospects for chestnut planting are still very good.

High-yield planting technology of chestnut

1. Garden selection

If you want to get a high yield of chestnuts, it is best to choose a chestnut orchard in an area with good drainage, flat terrain and low groundwater level. Saline and alkaline soil is the worst choice. You can develop it in hilly areas.

2. Variety selection

When choosing chestnut varieties, it is best to choose those with high yield and strong adaptability. You can choose according to your needs. Recommended ones include Shifeng, Jinfeng, Chenguo No. 1, etc.

3. Reasonable density planting

Reasonable dense planting is the basis for increasing yield. Generally, 30-40 plants are planted per mu. In mountainous areas, 40-60 plants can be planted. Thinning can be carried out later.
