Grade B - Hybrid Chestnut (castanea sp)
Bundle of 5 12-24” - 2 year old seedlings
The seed comes to us from a ~40 year old orchard in the Finger Lakes. The owner has been working to select the best producing, cold hardiest, and most disease resistant cultivars.
This listing is for GRADE B trees - grade B includes:
- undersized (vs grade A trees)
- irregular form (stem or root)
- digging damage
- minor rabbit damage
We expect all grade B trees to grow happily! We will not send you anything that we wouldn't plant ourselves.
This selection is not intended as a timber producer, and requires full sun to produce well. You can expect a branching form. Start your orchard today!
They are often early bearers, sometimes flowering and fruiting after only 3 years in their final location, with full production beginning at around age 15-20. Chestnuts are known for their delicious nuts, showy mid-summer blooms, and valuable wood.
PRODUCT INFO
Trees will be 12-24" tall.
We always recommend planting our trees in groups of 3 or more. Most of the trees we grow require pollination, which happens most efficiently by planting multiple trees. Visit our Planting Guidelines and Resources page for how to care for your trees.
