Chinese Chestnut Tree

TyTy Nursery will Guarantee that your Chinese Chestnut Tree will grow in USDA Zones 5-10, being one of the most cold hardy chestnuts. The Chinese Chestnut tree not only provides a fast dense shade, but also will give you a bonus of tasty nuts ripening in October that are just in time for a Thanksgiving roasting. The Chinese Chestnut tree is not self-pollinating , so that two different trees must be planted to insure a crop nut set at all. The Chinese Chestnut Tree produces the best nuts when planted in full sun and chestnuts are ideally suited to be grown in sandy, well-drained soils and are very adaptable to grow in most any growing condition. The Chinese Chestnut tree was imported into the U.S. about 100 years ago, and the quality of that chestnut at that time could not justify replacing the American Chestnut market with the Chinese Chestnut. The Chinese Chestnut tree is cold hardy, surviving temperatures of minus 29 degrees.

Delivery Time: Nut Trees ordered during their current shipping season (usually December through May) are shipped dormant within ten days of the date of order, weather dependent. The actual delivery time will usually be within four to seven days following the date of shipping by Ty Ty Plant Nursery.

Pruning Information: Pruning may be required on Chinese Chestnut trees constituting eight feet or more in size so as to comport with UPS Shipping requirements. For this reason, the Chinese Chestnut tree(s) you receive may not be the actual height you ordered due to it being pruned up to one third of the total size immediately prior to shipping unless you have made prior arrangements with us to ship the product to you by motor freight. Although you should receive the size ordered if shipped by motor freight, note that shipping by motor freight will likely increase your shipping costs.

Shipping Method: UPS Ground and Motor Freight if the proper arrangements have been made by the customer prior to shipping. Shipping costs do apply on Motor Freight shipments, not covered by any sales promotions.

*1 Year Free Plantsurance Policy is void on any shipment outside of recommended USDA zones, or authorized to ship by the customer during below freezing temperatures.

If plants are listed by gallon size the plant will be removed from container and have the majority of the dirt removed to allow for the best shipping.
