Product Description

Castanea mollissima: 60′ high & wide / full sun / zone 5

Chinese chestnuts have been cultivated for millennia in China, and are considered by some to have the best-tasting nuts of any chestnut species.  They’re resistant to the chestnut blight, and should be more widely grown as a commercial crop in Ontario.  Chestnuts have a nutritional profile similar to brown rice, and as such make an excellent perennial staple crop.
