Chestnut
One of the true champions of the tree world, chestnuts provide dependable yearly crops of nuts. Whereas most other nuts are protein and fat, chestnuts provide starches and carbohydrates, making them a staple food akin to wheat or corn, yet without the annual tillage and spraying that those crops require. Beautiful, wide growing trees have glossy leaves, long silvery flower spikes and decorative burrs that protect the lustrous nut from squirrels. We offer a diverse, blight resistant mix of trees ranging from pure Chinese, pure Japanese, and also hybrid trees with a mix of the fabled American chestnut genes. Excellent lumber with great rot-resistance. We’re really inspired to be a part of the growing movement to return chestnuts to the forests and landscapes of North America! At least two trees are required for pollination
Chinese - A wide, spreading tree bearing small but sweet chestnuts. The shorter stature makes for easier harvest and landscape design. Blight Resistant
Japanese - Nuts are much larger than the Chinese, otherwise the trees are very similar. Blight Resistant
Hybrid - A mix of American, Chinese, Japanese, and European. The Asian genetics confer resistance to chestnut blight while the American genes offer a taller timber-form tree, plus sweeter nuts and more rot resistant lumber.
Zones 4-9
