When you hear the word chestnut, you quickly think of chestnut stuffing or "The Christmas Song," which begins with "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..."
Chestnuts are delicious and quite nutritious. They are packed with vitamins and minerals.
Chestnut trees are great shade trees that can provide comfort during a hot summer.
If you grow a lot of trees, some of them in time can be harvested for wood. Chestnut wood is highly sought after for furniture and flooring. Being rot resistant, it is also a fantastic tree on a homestead. Fence posts made from chestnut will last for many years.
There are so many benefits to chestnut trees, whether you are interested in the nuts or the wood.
Why not consider growing a few chestnuts on your property?
We have some nice trees that are ready to be planted.
This is one of the many perennial plants we offer. Some of the others are on Craigslist and if you click on the "more ads by this seller" you will see them.
Discover all the rest by visiting our plant nursery. We have a wide selection.
You'll find trees, shrubs, and interesting perennial plants that support pollinators year-around.
Many of these plants are the perfect addition to an edible landscape or food forest!
We appreciate your support of local agriculture.
