Abstract
The performance and variability of six Castanea sativa provenances originating from natural contrasting European chestnut populations (two from Spain, Greece and Italy, respectively) were investigated.
After four years from out-planting, growth traits were measured for three consecutive years at the Taxiarchis provenance-progeny trial located in Greece.
The experimental design was a complete randomized block with single-tree plots and 3 × 3 m spacing in 10 replicates.
Tree survival was 69.9% at the end of the 6th year.
At the 6th year mean values for growth traits were 3.93 cm for diameter, 107.8 cm for height, 1493.9 cm3 for volume, and 563 for the number of leaves per tree.
Differences among provenances were significant indicating considerable genetic variation.
The overall best performing provenances were: EU-11 (A. Coruna) for diameter (4.05 cm), and EU 56 (Pellice) for height (119.2 cm) and volume (1725 cm3).
