chinese chestnut seeds for planting Hybrid Chestnuts – East Hill Tree FarmThese chestnuts have at least one parent tree with Chinese and or European genetics selected for blight resistance. The trees are open pollinated the second parent may also be hybrid or it may be American. These trees are more likely to be resistant to the chestnut blight. The nut size is often slightly larger and the growth pattern of the trees may be more spreading. Mature trees may stay a bit smaller than the more American types we sell. These
These chestnuts have at least one parent tree with Chinese and/or European genetics selected for blight resistance. The trees are open pollinated the second parent may also be hybrid or it may be American. These trees are more likely to be resistant to the chestnut blight. The nut size is often slightly larger and the growth pattern of the trees may be more spreading. Mature trees may stay a bit smaller than the more American types we sell. These trees are all grown from seed collected here on our farm.
We recommend planting a few hybrids with more reliable disease resistance in the mix with more American types in hopes of increasing potential resistance in the next generations of trees.
Plant chestnuts on a well drained site with good sun. Space them 20-35 ft apart. Give them some love and attention, keeping weeds and deer back for the first few years. Sometimes leaves on young trees show signs of iron deficiency (yellowing between the veins) which can be corrected with sulfur (we sell sulfur for $1/plant). Once settled in they are rapid growers. With any luck, mature trees can be 35-50 ft tall.
PLANT 2-3 FOR POLLINATION, will cross with other chestnuts, mixing types is great for diversity of the offspring.
Add sulfur to your order for $1/plant (sulfur is suitable for organic production.) Strongly recommended.
