Sweet chestnut trees (Castanea sativa), commonly found in temperate regions of Europe and parts of Asia, are not native to Kashmir but can be grown in similar climatic conditions.
Kashmir’s environment, with its temperate climate, could theoretically support sweet chestnut cultivation. However, the region is more famous for its indigenous trees like walnut (Juglans regia), chinar (Platanus orientalis), and various species of fruit trees such as apples and cherries.
If you’re interested in growing sweet chestnuts in Kashmir, it would require suitable soil (well-drained, slightly acidic), proper sunlight, and space as these trees can grow large. They produce edible nuts that are nutritious and used in various culinary traditions.
