The blight survivor. The tree that kept the chestnut alive.

Castanea mollissima, the Chinese Chestnut, is the species that saved the chestnut from complete extinction in North America, carrying the blight resistance that the American Chestnut lacked and producing the genetics that made every blight-resistant hybrid possible. In its own right it is an excellent nut-producing tree, bearing large, sweet chestnuts in spiny husks every fall that are edible fresh, roasted, or preserved, and developing into a beautiful, wide-spreading shade tree with attractive dark green foliage and creamy white flower spikes in early summer. It is the foundation species for Dunstan Chestnut and numerous other blight-resistant hybrids, and growing it directly from seed remains one of the most reliable ways to establish productive chestnut trees. If you are looking to buy Chinese Chestnut seeds or grow blight-resistant chestnut from seed, this is the species that the restoration of chestnut to the American forest is built on.

  • The blight-resistant species that provided the disease resistance essential for all blight-resistant chestnut hybrids
  • Produces large, sweet, edible nuts in fall, excellent fresh, roasted, or used in cooking
  • Wide-spreading shade tree with attractive dark green foliage and early summer flower spikes
  • One of the most reliable and productive nut trees for home orchards across a wide range of climates
  • Begins producing nuts in 3 to 5 years from seed, faster than most large nut trees

Things you probably did not know about the Chinese Chestnut

It has been cultivated in China for over 6,000 years. Chinese Chestnut cultivation is documented in Chinese agricultural texts dating back to the Zhou Dynasty and the tree appears in Chinese botanical literature throughout recorded history as a major food and timber crop. The diversity of Chinese Chestnut varieties developed through millennia of Chinese cultivation is extensive, with hundreds of regional selections for nut size, flavor, shell thickness, and ripening date.

The flowers smell intensely unpleasant but are critically important to pollinators. Chestnut flowers, like those of many trees in the beech family, produce a catkin-based bloom with a strong, musty fragrance that some describe as unpleasant. Despite this, the flowers are intensely attractive to native bees, wasps, and beetles that are critical pollinators. The smell that deters humans is precisely the signal that the pollinator species are responding to.

Cross-pollination between two different chestnut trees dramatically increases nut production. Like most chestnuts, Chinese Chestnut produces better and more reliable nut crops when cross-pollinated with a different individual. A single isolated tree may produce some nuts but two or more trees of different genetic origins consistently outperform isolated trees by a significant margin. Seed-grown trees, each being genetically unique, cross-pollinate freely with any other chestnut.

The nuts can be ground into flour as a gluten-free grain substitute. Chestnut flour produced from dried, ground Chinese Chestnut has been used in cooking across Europe and Asia for centuries. It is naturally sweet, gluten-free, and has a distinctive flavor that works well in cakes, pasta, and porridge. Traditional Italian preparations including castagnaccio, a dense chestnut flour cake, and French châtaigne crepes are made exclusively from chestnut flour. The low-fat, high-carbohydrate profile makes chestnut flour nutritionally different from other nut flours.

These are great
Style: 20 Ounces, Size: 56 Count
These hold my hot and cold foods with no problem. I have not had an issue with leaking and it’s been safe to use in the microwave. I’ve even had liquidy foods in it. Like juices from the food. I have also eaten soups with no issues. Great price and durable.

Great for dry skin
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I use this lotion to help with my dry skin and it is the only one that really helps. I live that it doesn't smell funky. it's lightweight on my skin and not too thick . it is strong enough to relieve my skin and gives my skin a nice glow . With 3 in the package it provides quality in quantity at a good price. The bottles come wrapped tight so there wasn't any leakage in the bottles. The bottles are big enough to provide enough to last

Quality. Price
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I have bought this lotion alot I the past. But this is the best price I have got. It is the main reason for my purchase other than I liked the lotion. If you have never tried this lotion then dont hesitate, its pretty good stuff. I recently I have became more conscious of the ingrediants on lotions so I switched. But I wouldn't hesitate to use this. Save some money and time and buy it here if you are already a regular user. And if you looking to try it out I wouldn't hesitate unless you are ingrediants conscious. It definitely moisturizes the skin untill your next shower. Feels good. Not greasy. Apply for any sort of dry skin. And it smells good if that's one of your requirements.

Love This Product on My Skin. Buy the 3-Pack for Epic Savings
Size: 20.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
I always recommend checking Amazon for three-packs, family packs, or value bundles of products you use all the time, because that’s usually where you start seeing real savings. Everyday household products can get expensive when you’re constantly buying single bottles at grocery stores, so finding a good bulk deal really does make a difference over time. That’s especially true with a quality product like Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion. It’s a great moisturizer, works well for sensitive skin like mine, and leaves your skin feeling soft without feeling overly greasy. The scent is phenomenal too, which makes it something you actually enjoy using regularly instead of just treating like another basic lotion. What I also like about this three-pack is that the bottles are lightweight and easy to handle. They’re convenient enough to take on an overnight trip or keep stored neatly in the bathroom without taking up too much room. And because you’re getting multiple bottles at once, you don’t feel like you’re constantly running back to the store every couple of weeks. If you actually compare prices and pay attention to sales, you’ll notice these bundles on Amazon can end up being significantly cheaper than buying individual bottles locally at a grocery or department store. The value is definitely there with the three-count package, especially for a name-brand product that consistently works well. Highly recommended if this is already a product you use regularly.
