These seedlings are from our best trees that have proven hardy with good quality nuts.  The nuts are are from mother trees with well filled nuts, with short to medium length husks that allows the nuts to fall freely to enable harvesting.  Some trees are over twenty five years old without any signs of blight and we do not spray any fungicides or pesticides. Good for Zone 4b and warmer.  These are started early in the spring in our greenhouse as tublings we then plant out for further growth. You will see they are taller and larger caliper than from other nurseries. It costs us more but they are worth it.  

We ship Mid-March to Early-May. dormant and bare root.   Seedlings are typically 12"-24" tall. We cannot ship to Canada or the west coast states.

Need a minimum of two trees for cross pollination.

Chinese chestnut is desired for its hardiness, disease resistance and of course their nuts.  You can eat fresh or make your own gluten free deliciously sweet flour.  The nuts fall free to the ground.  All you have to do is pick them up.

These are regionally proven trees to grow in the Northeast. Please see our web pages on chestnuts to learn more.

These are from locally grown and adapted Chinese chestnut trees on our farm.  So you know if they can grow at  our windy elevation of USDA zones 4B/5A they will grow in yours.  Try in zones 4a.  Dormant trees are 10" to 20" tall when shipped. When mature at 25 years they are about 25 to 30 feet tall and 25 feet wide, with a round form as shown.

These are tasty sweet nuts! If you ask us they taste like a sweet pistachio.
