Chinese Chestnut
Chinese Chestnut, Castanea mollissima, bareroot seedings. These average about 14-28” in height in the first year or 2’-4’ in the second. Grown from trees with excellent bearing traits and quality nuts.
It can be overwhelming presented with so many choices! You can select Assorted Bundles of 10, 25, or 100 Chinese chestnut trees and I will make sure you get a diverse sampling of good genetics.
Or for the choosers:
