Our hybrid chestnuts are collected locally from a pair of mature trees. Nuts from the mother trees are quite sweet right off the tree. Blight resistance is good.

Our Chinese chestnuts are collected locally from a stand of very healthy parent trees. Nuts vary from small to large. Good for human consumption or wildlife plantings. Great blight resistance.

Chestnuts are remarkable trees that have inspired many people across the world with their beauty, tenacity and incredible food production ability. Historically, chestnuts were deeply woven into American culture, but when chestnut blight was inadvertently introduced to our shores the native chestnut (C. dentata) was functionally eliminated from the landscape. Nowadays, chestnuts exist out of the public mind and are a very underutilized crop in the United States. This is changing, though, as interest in the chestnut is growing and many blight resistant varieties are being planted. The nuts have a wide variety of uses and can be roasted, boiled or ground into flour. Generally hardy in zones 5-8.
