Buy Chinese Chestnut Trees for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Chinese Chestnut is a spreading shade tree that produces sweet, edible nuts in fall. It is a useful choice for a home nut planting or a large wildlife property, where fallen chestnuts can feed deer, turkeys, and squirrels. Chinese Chestnut has greater natural resistance to chestnut blight than American Chestnut, though it is not completely immune. advancednurserygrowers.com Plant Details: Plant Type: Deciduous nut, shade, and wildlife tree Botanical Name: Castanea mollissima Mature Size: Approximately 40–60 feet tall and wide Sun: Full sun USDA Zones: Approximately 4–9 Bloom/Harvest: Flowers in late spring to early summer; nuts generally fall in September and October Nuts: Sweet, edible chestnuts enclosed in very sharp, spiny burs Pollination: Plant at least two genetically different, compatible chestnut trees that bloom at the same time for dependable nut production Spacing: Approximately 30–40 feet apart for a landscape or nut planting Soil/Water: Well-drained, slightly acidic soil; water regularly while young and avoid sites that remain soggy Landscape Uses: Nut groves, home orchards, shade, food plots, and wildlife plantings Best Pollinator Partners: Another Chinese Chestnut grown from a different seed: The most straightforward choice. Two genetically different seedlings can usually cross-pollinate. Improved Chinese Chestnut: A possible partner if it is genetically different from the first tree and blooms at the same time. Hybrid or Dunstan Chestnut seedling: A possible partner when bloom periods overlap; two unrelated Chinese Chestnut seedlings remain the simplest recommendation. Two grafted trees of the same named variety are genetically identical and should not be relied upon to cross-pollinate each other.

Chinese Chestnut does poorly where water stands around its roots.
