Chinese Chestnut Tree seeds
The Chinese Chestnut is a premier choice for homesteaders and orchardists seeking a hardy, productive alternative to the lost American species. These spreading, majestic trees are highly prized for their exceptional blight resistance and heavy annual crops of sweet, starchy nuts that lack the bitterness often found in other varieties. Reaching a mature height of 40 to 60 feet, they serve as both a functional food source and a beautiful shade tree, featuring glossy serrated leaves that turn a soft gold in the autumn. For successful pollination and a bountiful harvest, we recommend planting at least two different seedlings or varieties within 100 feet of each other. Once established, these trees are incredibly drought-tolerant and long-lived, providing a sustainable source of "bread from trees" for generations to come.
