5 Dunstan Chestnut Tree 12" Tall Hybrid Bareroot Live Plants

Dunstan Chestnut trees are a hybrid chestnut developed for reliable nut production and strong ornamental value, combining American chestnut parentage with Chinese chestnut genetics for improved performance in home landscapes. These young trees arrive bareroot at approximately 12 inches tall, ready to establish in a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
Grown for both shade and nut harvest, Dunstan chestnuts produce sweet, large nuts in autumn that are excellent for roasting, baking, and fresh eating. The trees develop a broad, rounded canopy with dark green serrated foliage and showy catkins in spring. Plant as a specimen, in a small grove for cross-pollination, or along a property line where the seasonal interest and eventual harvest can be enjoyed for years to come.
