Description

Peach Chestnut Seedling – 12 – 18″ – Order now for Fall Shipping!
With Midwest Memory – adapted to Midwest Zones 5 – 7.
If you buy from a catalog you will get chestnuts grown in the Northeast or Southeast that won’t survive Midwest winters and summers.
These Peach chestnuts were grown in the Midwest so they “remember” the Midwest summers and winters, not some place else.

Why this tree:
– Heavy producer of extra-large, easy-to-peel nuts that are slightly fuzzy, like a peach.
– Mid season drop extends your harvest window.
– Good to add to your deer food plot! Great for your homestead and garden as well.

Pollination: You’ll need at least two chestnut trees for cross-pollination and nut production. Peach mixes well with Chinese hybrids (like Qing or Gideon) or American x Chinese hybrids in an orchard setting.

Planting specs:
Spacing: 20-25 feet apart
Soil: Slightly acidic, pH 4.5–6.5
Zones 5–7
Time to maturity: 15 years

Shipping: Fall orders ship as containerized trees (2-gallon equivalent, removed from pot before shipping). Late Fall and Spring orders ship bare root during dormancy. Local pickup also available.
