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.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS
Plant at least two chestnut trees nearby for pollination. Woodlands Chestnut trees must be planted with a minimum of 50′ spacing (because these trees will get HUGE). They can grow in a wide variety of soil types, but I recommend avoiding very wet or heavy clay soil. These trees are tolerant to low pH and do well in a woodland setting. Requires 6 hours of sunlight for optimum growth and fruit production.
SHIPPING/PICK UP
Shipping to Plant Hardiness zones 6 – 8 (southern states) Fall shipping will be the last Monday in November. Spring shipping will begin again in mid-March on Mondays as temperatures in my area allow.
Shipping to Plant Hardiness zones 3 – 5 (northern states) we will generally ship on Mondays through out the month April as your weather allows for planting.
Dormant bare root trees are to be planted in the fall or spring while trees in your area are still dormant. You can select your ship date at check out. If you are picking up your trees, typically the first week in April is perfect for planting in Pennsylvania. Please Call or message me to make an appointment to pick your trees up.

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. On Orders that you selected to pick up your trees. 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.
Shipping: When buying grafted trees. They ship in two different sized boxes. 15 trees or less ship in a 60'' box. 15 to 30 trees are shipped in a 72'' box. Trees may need to be professionally pruned to fit in these boxes.
Trees will ship through UPS on Mondays. 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 TreePro 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 TreePro 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.

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.

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
