Naturally hybridized cross that resembles the chinquapin of the eastern U.S. woodlands, only this one is a small single trunk tree and is resistant to chestnut blight. A similar form of this cross is found in the wild as Castanea x neglecta. Our form is hybridized with the Douglass chestnuts. Compact, dense crown to 20 ft. Dense clusters of small burrs open upright to reveal three small dark brown nuts that are very sweet. Ripens early for a chestnut starting in late August. Very productive. Branching is dense with equal height and width.
AVAILABLE AGAIN STARTING IN THE FALL OF 2010.
