La paisson réfère à la production de fruits d'arbres forestiers tels que les chênes, les hêtres et les châtaigniers. La quantité de fruits change d'année en année : lorsque l'arbre produit peu, on parle de demi-paisson et lorsque les fruits sont en abondance, on parle de paisson pleine. 4, record 1, French, - fructification%20massive
