Big Lucky™ Chestnut

Description

BIG LUCKY™ CHESTNUT

This chestnut tree is not big, but its nut production is! Big Lucky™ chestnut has a mature height of around 30′, perfect for adding to an orchard where other fruit trees are growing and you’re not looking to shade them out. The tree has outstanding vigor and good blight resistance. Big Lucky™ drops an overabundance of medium-sized sweet nuts from late September through October.

As you can see in my pictures, the deer turn the dirt to mud under this grove of trees. The leaves seem less desirable to insects on Big Lucky™, as I don’t see them bothered much. The resident orchard of the original trees is located here in Central Pennsylvania. This chestnut tree is suitable for Plant hardiness zones 5-8

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR  BIG LUCKY™  CHESTNUT TREE

Plant at least two chestnut trees nearby for pollination. A minimum of 25′ for tree spacing when planting Big Lucky™ Chestnut trees. They can grow in various soil types, but I recommend avoiding wet or heavy clay soil.

These trees are tolerant of low pH and low fertility. The Big Lucky™ chestnut tree requires at least 6 hours of full sun. Its exceptional vigor will help it grow faster in less desirable soils or soils that lack nutrients. Vented 60″ tree tubes work exceptionally well for growing chestnut trees and protecting them from deer.
