Chinese Chestnut Tree Grows 40-60 Feet in Height

Welcome to TN Nursery YouTube channel. Today, let's talk about Chinese Chestnut Tree. The Chinese Chestnut Tree, Castanea mollissima, is aptly named for its original home, mainland China. It is a deciduous tree that can grow anywhere from 40 to 60 feet tall in maturity. The tree is resistant to the common chestnut blight and tolerates common pests such as deer, which is beneficial for the tree's lifespan. This tree grows well in hardiness zones 4 through 7 and prefers a well-drained soil type with a pH between 5.5 to 6.5, slightly acidic to neutral. After planting, this tree will grow 2 to 3 feet annually. It takes the tree about 3 to 5 years to produce fruit after planting, which is more than most trees take to flower and produce fruit. Because this tree is a medium-sized, low canopy type, it provides shade for those hot afternoons. This deciduous tree provides a spot of shade and produces beautiful flowers that are mellow yellow-white. After these showy flowers fall, they are replaced by hardened chestnuts of beautiful brown color. These low-lying trees are an excellent addition to your backyard or garden because they are low maintenance and gorgeous to view. The leaves of the tree are deep green, and this plant is well tolerant to direct sunlight in moist soil. Chinese chestnut tree is for sale at TN Nursery, with low prices and fast shipping.
