Chestnut Andora
'96™
Timber: European Chestnut (Castanea Sativa)
It grows so freely in this country that it has been by some authorities
considered a true native, its claim resting chiefly upon the use
of what was for centuries supposed to be Chestnut timber in very
ancient buildings, such as the roof of Westminster Hall and the
Parliament House of Edinburgh. It is now, however, recognized that
the wood of Chestnut loses all virtue of durability when over fifty
years old, and though the tree is of very quick growth, the beams
in question could not have been grown in fifty years, so it has
been proved that they are of Durmast Oak, which closely resembles
Chestnut both in grain and colour. This enormous tree at 5 feet
from the ground measured over 50 feet in circumference in 1720,
and was still flourishing some years ago. Many of the trees forming
the vast Chestnut forests on the slopes of Mount Etna are said to
be even larger. In the Mediterranean region the Chestnut flourishes
luxuriantly.
