To elucidate the xenia effects of mineral elements on different pollination combinations in Castanea henryi, using the chinquapin cultivars “Huali No.1”, “Huali No.2”, “Huali No.3” and “Huangzhen” as materials, we investigated the xenia effects of mineral elements in C. henryi by auto dicsrete analyzers and atomic absorption spectrometry. Twenty combinations of self-, cross-, and natural pollination were undertaken. The results revealed that eight mineral elements of Castanea henryi seeds were significant differences. Xenia obviously has its mineral elements, especially iron and znic. The fruit of “Huali No.2”דHuangzhen” showed the highest iron and zinc content, which were 162.13 and 41.79 μg·g-1, respectively. The fruit of “Huangzhen”דHuali No.1” showed an increased manganese content of 165.67 μg·g-1, which provides a reference for the utilization of this variety as a manganese fertilizer.Through principal component analysis, the best combination was “Huali No.2”דHuangzhen” in the 19 combinations. The results can give a basis for planting design of varieties and improving fruit quality in C. henryi.
