SUMMARY: According to the latest hypothesis, sweet chestnut in the Požega region
is not an autochthonous species, or a relict from the Terciary period as was believed
until now. On the contrary, it was introduced, grown and harvested by the
Romans in the period between the 1st and the 5th century A.D. Due to its wide range
of usage, it was later accepted and cultivated by feudal estates, churches and monasteries
in Croatia.


The truth of this hypothesis might be confirmed by the concordance between present
habitats of sweet chestnut and the remains of Roman roads, old fortified buildings,
monasteries, Turkish fortresses and noblemen´s estates. We know with certainty that
the Romans introduced wine-growing into these regions, which is confirmed by the fact
that present vineyard sites are located along architectural objects from the past.


Sweet chestnut has been artificially distributed northward as far as southern
Poland, central Germany and Switzerland up to the 50th degree of latitude. It requires
favourable site conditions (neutral or acid soil) and microclimatic properties
(mean temperature over ll°C).


Its biological char acter istis and properties enable sweet chestnut to regenerate
very well. Chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Endithia parasitica, is spread
throughout the chestnut distribution range in Croatia. The fungus species with hypovirulentproperties
cause cancers.


Chestnut was a very important nutritional product before extensive potato and
maize cultivation began in Europe in the seventeenth century.


This paper presents some basic indicators necessary for the cultivation and
preservation of sweet chestnut forests in the Požega mountains. The comparative research
method was used for this aim.


K ey w o rds: sweet chestnut, Požega valley and Požega mountains, Romans, archaeological
finds of Roman roads and buildings, old towns and settlements, comparative
research method, present situation and possibilities of cultivation.
