You will receive a seed packet containing 10 fresh Chestnut seeds. Seeds have been stored at 42 degrees F and are ready for planting. Castanea sativa also known as the Chestnut is a member of the Fagaceae family. The American Chestnut was once one of the most prevalent tree species in the eastern United States making up a quarter of all trees. In the early 1900s, an invasive fungus devastated the American Chestnut population bringing it to the brink of extinction. Decades later, hybrid American and Chinese Chestnut trees are growing in popularity and being planted in an effort to restore former ecosystems. This American Chinese Chestnut hybrid offers the blight resistance of the Chinese Chestnut with the height of the American Chestnut tree. In 3-5 years these trees will begin to produce nuts. They are popular for their mildly sweet taste and texture similar to a potato; they work well in sweet and savory dishes. Planting trees is truly special and this Chestnut hybrid is the gift that keeps on giving. **WE DO NOT SHIP TO WASHINGTON STATE OR CALIFORNIA.
