1 Dunstan Chestnut Tree Live Plant 12 Inches Tall Hybrid Bare Root

Dunstan Chestnut is a hybrid chestnut selection valued for its vigorous growth and reliable nut production. It combines the nut quality of Chinese chestnut with the stature and hardiness of American chestnut, making it a practical choice for home orchards and edible landscapes. This listing is for one bare root tree measuring 12 to 24 inches tall, ready to establish in a suitable outdoor site.

The tree produces sweet, starchy nuts that are well suited to roasting, boiling, and baking, and it also works well as a shade or specimen tree in a larger yard. Chestnuts begin bearing at a relatively young age compared with many nut trees, and production increases as the tree matures. Plant in a sunny, well drained location with room to grow and consistent moisture during establishment.
