Allegheny Chinkapin

[Native Hunter]

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)

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.
