Description: The American chestnut was once a very common tree but is now extremely rare due to chestnut blight. Remnant root systems are resilient and continue to send up new shoots that eventually succumb to the blight. The American chestnut is a large tree with brown, smooth buds and twigs. The tree can grow upwards of 100 feet in height and 10 feet in diameter. The bark, though brown like the twigs and buds, is very uneven consisting of deep furrows and flat-topped ridges in maturity. The leaves are about 6 inches long and have serrated edges. The tree has creamy yellow flowers in June and nuts later in the year. American chestnut tends to grow best in sunny areas that have well-drained moist acidic soils. These soils are formed from shale, sandstone, and limestone parent materials. It can also tolerate dry and clay soils.No Shipping to HI, AK
