Abstract:
In this study we classified morphologically the most widespread cultivars of chestnut grown in the region of
Verín-Monterrei: ‘Bermella’, ‘Blanca’, ‘Boullona’, ‘Calva’, ‘Casarella’, ‘Corronchuda’ ‘das Vinas’, ‘Famosa’,
‘Foleiro’, ‘Inxerta’, ‘Longal’, ‘Monfortina’, ‘Soutiña’, ‘Touro’ and ‘Vilamaesa’. Based on biometrical analysis
of leaves, flowers and nuts, most of variability among cultivars was explained by variations in leaf and nut morphology.
