Wild Life Food Plot Heaven.  This is the tree for feeding wildlife.  Nuts drop early October to fatten up deer, bear and turkey for the winter.

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.

Our ZCC tree regularly produces 100 pounds of nuts in good years. 

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 50" to 108" tall when picked up. When mature at 25 years they are about 25 to 30 feet tall and 25 feet wide, with a round form as shown. These nuts are typical of many Chinese chestnuts and are on the smaller size of orchard chestnuts. 

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

Chestnuts often start producing nuts in year 4 or 5 and your tree will leaf out in year 3! Get it off to a good start and you may see nuts the following year.

Food plot heaven as nuts are candy to wildlife.  Nuts drop during deer season!  These are tasty sweet nuts for wildlife and us!

Spring we typically notify you late-April to late-May weather dependent, dormant and bare root when we can schedule a pickup time good for both of us.

 Seedlings are typically 5' to 9' tall. Some have already produced nuts!

You need two trees for pollination as these are seedlings you are good if you buy two or more seedling ZCC trees.   We do not have chestnut gall wasps on our farm as of yet but they are getting close. .
