The Fall Draw™ Chinese Chestnut tree produces an abundant crop of sweet chestnuts every year. It is an excellent early producer (you will see chestnuts on your trees between 2-4 years). These trees produce a crop that is highly preferred by whitetail deer and very edible for human consumption. Its attractability mixed with its late drop (through October) make it the perfect hunting tree.
Description
FALL DRAW™ CHINESE CHESTNUT TREES FOR SALE
The Chinese Chestnut trees for sale are fast-growing chestnut trees for deer reaching 40′ to 60′. These trees produce an abundant crop of sweet chestnuts every year without fail. They bloom well after the chance of frost. These Fall Draw™ Chinese Chestnuts have excellent resistance to blight. I have been growing from the same group of Chinese chestnuts for years.
The earliest I have ever seen the parent trees start dropping is October 8th. The latest has been October 23rd. Most other chestnut trees in Pennsylvania have finished dropping by October rolls around. This reason is why they are called Fall Draw™ and why they give you an advantage during hunting season! The trees grown from these parent trees will be genetically different, with various drop times from each tree from the last week in September through the last weeks in October. I have noticed that some of the new trees are holding and dropping chestnuts late. I’m seeing some trees still dropping nuts into the first weeks of November.
It is tough to gather nuts from these trees because deer highly desire them. I gather every evening because there won’t be any left on the ground come morning, and there is always an amazing amount of deer under this group of trees when they are dropping. These Fall Draw™ Chinese chestnut trees for sale are planted and thriving as far North as Western NY in hardiness Zone 5 on my properties.
CHINESE CHESTNUT TREE PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Plant at least two chestnut trees nearby for pollination. A minimum of 35′ for tree spacing when planting Fall Draw™ Chinese Chestnut trees. They can grow in various soil types, but I recommend avoiding wet or heavy clay soil. These trees are tolerant to low pH as well as low fertility. The Chinese chestnut trees require at least 6 hours of full sun.
SHIPPING/PICK UP
Shipping to Plant Hardiness zones 2 – 8 will begin again in mid-March on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays (you select your ship date) and continue until the last Monday in April. Dormant bare-root trees must be planted in the spring, while trees in your area remain dormant. You can select your ship date as you checkout on the website. If you are picking up your trees, typically, the last week in March or the first week in April is perfect for planting in Pennsylvania. We have opened up the free local pick-up to the surrounding states as it could be more cost-effective if you order more than 30 trees. You can select your pick-up date on the website as you checkout. Please call or message us to make an appointment to pick up your trees if you can not make the date you selected.

Returns: We have been shipping plants around the country for quite some time now. We provide
healthy live plants. We take every effort to ensure that your plants are packed in a way that
maintains that health as they arrive to you. We can not be responsible for how plants are handled
when they leave our care or are handled by customers.
Tree care: If you plant your tree up on high dry ground they may need watered through the first
summer, if you plant too low and wet your trees may drown. Be careful of the herbicide you may
use around the tree (read the label). I want you and your trees to succeed but if you don't tube or
cage them the deer will eat your tree that night.
Hours: We do not keep regular hours. If you would like to visit the nursery, just call, send a
message or email. Anyone is more than welcome.
Selected pickup dates: Trees can be picked up in the spring as soon as you can dig in your soil.
Trees need to be picked by the end of April. Before picking up, please contact us letting us know
when you are planning to come so we can have your order ready for you when you arrive.
Shipping: When buying grafted trees, depending on the amount of trees you order will determine
the size box the trees will be shipped in. If you order 4 two year old trees, they will fit into a 66in
x 8in x 8in box. Ordering 5-15 two year old trees will fill into a 66in x 15in x 14in box. Ordering
16 or more two year old trees will fill into 2 or more boxes, depending on the total amount of
trees bought. Trees may need to be professionally pruned to fit in these boxes. Ship dates will be
selected by you before completing you order. We ship trees from early March to late April. You
should select a ship date that is suitable for the location you are planting your trees. Trees will
ship through UPS on Monday’s, Tuesday’s, and Wednesday’s. You will receive an email
notification when your trees ship. When trees arrive, plant as soon as possible. If you cannot, it
would be best to heal them into soil or store in a cool place not allowing roots to freeze but not
allowing the trees to become warm.
If Tree Tube products are the only items you purchase then they will ship as soon as the order is
received. You may have to select a ship date but I can assure you if you are just ordering tree
tubes they will ship immediately. If Tree Tube products are purchased with trees, then they will
ship with the trees.
Due to the cost of shipping there will be a minimum of 4 trees that have to be purchased in order
for checkout to occur. Due to phytosanitary regulations, we do not ship to Alaska, California,
Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

Blue Hills’s Northern Giant™ Hybrid chestnut is a massive tree that has survived the chestnut blight and Pennsylvania’s hot summers and cold winters in the ruins of an old farmstead. With its 13ft circumference, 70 feet in height, and 60-foot wide crown, it produces enormous loads of sweet nuts every year, dropping in late September and extending well through into late October. The nuts produced from these trees are large and very edible for humans and deer alike. This tree is a complex hybrid of chestnut genes once widely grown in the dominant chestnut growing region of early America – Eastern Pennsylvania. As the massive American chestnut crops produced northeast of Philadelphia succumbed to the chestnut blight, farmers rapidly ramped up production of the European, Japanese, and Chinese chestnut cultivars. And these farms spawned hybrids that still exist today. The Northern Giant™ Hybrid Chestnut has Chinese, Japanese, European, and American genes and has been identified as a Chinese x [(European x Japanese) x American] hybrid. Take advantage of this successful quadruple genetic hybrid and order two or more of them to assure cross pollination. Northern Giant™ is the most vigorous chestnut tree we have ever seen. The original group of trees has experienced -20 degrees, making them suitable for plant hardiness zones 4b-8

These two source trees are isolated most likely pollinating each other. These two trees both reside here in Pennsylvania but would make an excellent tree to plant from here to southern Wisconsin. The Woodland Chestnut trees are both near 80’ tall with a circumference that it would take 3 people hand in hand to go around these trees!
They produce an annual abundance of medium to large, very sweet chestnuts at a very early age ( 3-5 years depending on your soil conditions) which flower well after the chance of frost. Woodland Chestnuts are very fast growing, and will get HUGE! They have excellent blight resistance and are very cold hardy. These trees have been through "ambient temperature" of -22 degrees. The Woodland Chestnut will grow some truly GIANT chestnut trees! Do NOT plant in with fruit trees as they will end up shading out your entire orchard. They are an excellent tree for planting after a timber harvest.
