Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is the result of long-term selection characteristic of the northwestern regions of Spain. It is included among the recommended traditional varieties for the conservation of local biodiversity.

The plant grows in type III climatic zones, specifically in the Valdeorras and Terra de Trives-Castro Caldelas areas. The variety is being studied in the context of reproductive characteristics, including the analysis of male fertility and sterility within chestnut populations.

The primary purpose of the variety is fruit production for consumption. The name BRANCA can also be used as a general definition for a group of light-colored fruits or clones, which requires distinction from other varietal forms.
