NEW! American x Chinese Hybrid Chestnut tree seedling – 12-18″ SOLD OUT

Description

Dunstan-like Hybrid Chestnut tree seedling. 12-18″.
Hybrid of American chestnut (Castanea dentata) and Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima).
Similar to Dunstan (but note that Dunstan is a trademark of Chestnut Hill Nursery).
These hybrids have late bud break, which can beat late frosts.
The nuts drop mid to late season (in Kansas that is late September and October).

These seedlings were grown by me in NE KS with local picked seed, and are adapted to the Midwest.

Space them 20×20 (20 feet apart and 20 feet rows).

For Fall orders, will ship in late September (Oct for Southern states).
Fall tree orders are containerized trees (in pots). They are priced according to the pot size. 2 gallon equivalent pot size.
They are removed from the pots just prior to shipping. Can also be ordered for local pickup.

Spring orders will ship bare root during dormancy.

Note: You need at least two chestnut trees to ensure that they will cross pollinate and produce nuts. You can mix these with Chinese chestnuts in an orchard.

No sales to CA, OR, WA, MI, HI due to importation restrictions.
