Hybrid Chestnut
Castanea hybrids, 1- and 2-year-old bareroot seedings. These seedling trees generally range in size from 18-28” high their first year and 2-4’ their second.
Hybrid chestnuts may be selected for the qualities of their nuts, but also for their timber form growing habit.
Choose from the following options, or select Assorted Bundles to receive a diverse mix of excellent genetics.
Vancouver Forest seedlings – complex hybrids between Chinese, Japanese, American, and European chestnuts from the Pacific Northwest.
Arthur Graves seedlings – from Arthur Grave’s Sleeping Giant planting or from his house, incorporating American, Chinese, and Japanese genetics.
Eaton seedlings – well-known cultivar tree (cross of Chinese x Japanese x American) introduced by Arthur Graves.
Clapper – American x Japanese chestnut hybrids backcrossed to American chestnut.
American x Japanese hybrids — Castanea dentata x Castanea crenata.
