SEED TYPE

Non-GMO

PLANT TYPE

Deciduous Hardwood Tree

The American Chestnut is a majestic, fast-growing hardwood once dominant in eastern North America. These seeds allow gardeners, landowners and restoration groups to grow trees that provide shade, habitat and edible chestnuts. Note: many wild populations were devastated by chestnut blight; plantings should consider blight resistance and local regulations. Seed-grown trees typically require years to reach nut-bearing maturity but contribute strongly to biodiversity and landscape value.
