NEVADA CHESTNUT (Castanea sativa)

The Nevada Chestnut Tree yields a medium sized nut with a dark, brown shell and a very sweet tasting kernel. The tree is very vigorous and upright, and can be used as a pollinizer for Colossal Chestnuts, for which one tree can normally pollinate 8 to 10 trees. The Nevada Chestnut itself also needs a pollinator, for which the Colossal works as well. The nuts are able to be harvested in early October.                           12-18' trees    SOLD IN BUNDLES OF 5 ONLY                                                         Bearing Age: 3-4 years after plantingSize at Maturity: 40-60+ ft. in heightBloom Time: JuneRipening Time: Late SeptemberYield: 50+ lbs.Pests & Diseases: Chestnuts are not bothered by pests or diseases in our region.
