Pros:
  • Drops after my chestnuts are finished (Late October into November)
  • No weevils in mine
  • Great taste
  • No signs of blight after 10 years
  • Heavy bearing last two years
  • Most fall easily from bur
  • Extremely shade tolerant (my best tree/bush gets around 4 hours sun)
Cons:

  • Small sized nut (25% of a chestnut)
  • Smaller ultimate sized tree/bush than a mature Chinese Chestnut but still a fairly large tree (My best tree is 20 feet after 10 years)

Are these wlld stock trees?
 
So jealous, one of the trees I most want to get started on our farm! Finding seed has been the hard part.
 
I couldn't find them on their website now

It's the first item at the top of page 23 in the 2019 - 2020 catalog.

I just noticed that they show them growing from 6 to 10 feet, but the two I have are way bigger than that. However, the one I gave my FIL is about that size. Anyway, that is where mine came from, and they are still listed in the catalog.
