Chinese Chestnut Tree
Castanea mollissima, the Chinese Chestnut, is a hardy nut tree prized for its delicious, sweet chestnuts and strong adaptability. Unlike the American chestnut, it is highly resistant to chestnut blight, making it a reliable choice for orchards and landscapes.
In early summer, fragrant white-yellow catkins cover the tree, followed by spiny burrs that ripen in fall, releasing large, sweet, edible chestnuts. A beautiful shade tree as well as a nut producer, the Chinese Chestnut is both ornamental and productive.
