The Chinese Chestnut is cold hardy and can survive temperatures of minus 29 degrees. The Chinese Chestnut is not self-pollinating and two different trees must be planted to insure a crop nut set.

Many grandparents claim that the original American Chestnut, which is today almost extinct was the best nut ever, but few people today can verify this fact by tasting, because the blight that almost exterminated this native tree happened 75 years ago.

The Chinese Chestnut Tree produces best when planted in full sun and are ideally suited to sandy, well-drained soils and are adaptable to most any growing condition.

The Chinese Chestnut tree was imported into the U.S. about 100 years ago, but the quality of that chestnut could not justify replacing the American Chestnut market with the Chinese Chestnut. Buy your Chinese Chestnut Tree from the TyTy Nursery today!

The chestnut crop from the Chinese Chestnut tree was eaten fresh or stored, and in the preparation of many dressings for poultry and meat: or the chestnut kernels were eaten, boiled, toasted, or steamed. The chestnuts could be crushed and powdered into a flower to be made into a heavy flat cake that strongly resembled an oatmeal cake.
