If you're passionate about improving your land for wildlife or want to leave a lasting legacy for future generations, our Blight-Resistant Chestnut Tree Seedlings are the perfect addition to your property. These trees combine the rich heritage of the American chestnut with the resilience and adaptability of hybrid varieties, ensuring a reliable food source for wildlife and a stunning addition to your landscape.

Why Plant Chestnut Trees?

Chestnut trees once dominated North America's forests, providing abundant nuts for wildlife and humans alike. However, the chestnut blight of the early 20th century devastated this iconic species. By planting blight-resistant hybrids, you can play a vital role in bringing these incredible trees back to our ecosystems.

Here’s why these trees are a game-changer for wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists:

  • Nutrient-Rich Food Source: Chestnuts are a favorite among deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Unlike acorns, chestnuts are low in tannins, making them sweeter and easier to digest.
  • Fast Growth and Early Production: These seedlings grow quickly and start producing nuts in as little as 3-4 years, much faster than many oak species.
  • Blight Resistance: By blending traits of Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) with other hybrid varieties, these trees can withstand the fungal disease that wiped out American chestnuts.
  • Durable and Adaptable: They thrive in a wide range of soil types and conditions, making them a versatile choice for land management projects.

Key Features of Our Chestnut Seedlings

  • Genetic Excellence: Grown from proven parent trees that exhibit superior nut production and disease resistance.
  • Wildlife-Focused Design: Ideal for food plots, mast orchards, or creating a reliable wildlife corridor on your property.
  • Eco-Friendly Impact: By planting these trees, you’re contributing to a healthier, more biodiverse environment.

Whether you’re managing a large hunting property, enhancing a backyard wildlife habitat, or creating a legacy for your family, these blight-resistant chestnuts are a must-have. With their fast growth and nut production, they deliver unmatched benefits to both wildlife and landowners alike.

Planting Tips

To maximize growth and nut production:

  2. Space trees about 30–40 feet apart to allow room for their full canopy.
  3. Protect seedlings from deer browsing with tree tubes.
