Castanea sativa is deciduous and belongs to the Fagaceae family. The NC State species profile lists a height of approximately 24.4–30.5 m.
The listed flowering season is summer. Recorded flower colours include gold/yellow, green. Local climate and the weather in a particular year affect the timing and intensity of flowering.
Suitable light conditions listed in the profile are full sun. Appropriate soil and moisture also matter; individual plants do not all reach the same size. Growth and appearance of the ‘Vincent van Gogh’ cultivar may differ from the species; species dimensions above are not a precise cultivar measurement. Lifespan: potentially over 800 years for the species in favourable conditions; not the age of the particular planting.
