Timburr Chestnut — Castanea x dentata hybrid

Tall Straight Timber Growth Habit like the American Chestnut

This is our most American-like hybrid cross producing vigorous seedlings with a dominant central leader. Seedlings show high heritability of upright growth with good resistance to chestnut blight within the majority of the seedlings. Created by using Douglass 2nd and 3rd generation trees along with other hybrid Chinese and European trees that show good form with little or no blight. The seedlings we grow are from the best seven trees that were selected over 20 years ago. Vigorous growth and upright habit were the priority. Seedlings begin producing in 3-8 years. Yields will vary from 20-50 lbs. per tree. We are using seedlings from this group to replace other less vigorous selections on our farm as a way to upgrade our orchard using open pollinated hybrids that may prove completely immune to chestnut blight. Height to 60-80 ft.
