About Chinese Chestnut Tree

The Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima) brings back the joy of roasted chestnuts without the heartbreak that wiped out American chestnuts a century ago. This fast-growing shade tree resists chestnut blight, the devastating fungal disease that eliminated billions of native chestnut trees, while producing generous crops of sweet, edible nuts that rival anything you'd find at a gourmet market.

Key Features

Year-Round Beauty and Function

In late spring, the tree erupts with long, creamy-white catkins that release a sweet, slightly musky fragrance. These showy flower spikes attract bees and other pollinators before developing into the spiny burrs that protect developing chestnuts through summer. The coarse-textured, oblong leaves create dense shade during hot months, then turn golden-yellow in fall just as the burrs split open to release their glossy brown treasures.

The broad, rounded canopy provides substantial shade, making Chinese Chestnut an excellent choice for large properties, acreages, or anywhere you need a hardworking tree that earns its keep. Unlike many nut trees, it grows relatively quickly, reaching 15-20 feet in 10 years under good conditions.

Why Chinese Chestnut Wins Over American Chestnut

American Chestnut trees once dominated Eastern forests until chestnut blight arrived from Asia in the early 1900s. Chinese Chestnut evolved alongside this fungus and developed natural resistance, making it the practical choice for home orchards and landscapes. The nuts are slightly smaller than the legendary American chestnuts but just as delicious, and you'll actually get to harvest them instead of watching the tree succumb to disease.

Growing and Care Guide

Harvesting Your Own Chestnuts

Chinese Chestnuts typically begin producing nuts 3-5 years after planting, with production increasing as the tree matures. Each spiny burr contains 2-3 chestnuts that fall to the ground when ripe in September and October. Gather them promptly since squirrels, deer, and other wildlife find them irresistible. The sweet, starchy nuts are perfect for roasting, pureeing into soups, or using in traditional chestnut stuffing recipes.

For reliable nut production, plant two different Chinese Chestnut trees or cultivars within 200 feet of each other. While Chinese Chestnuts are self-fertile to some degree, cross-pollination dramatically increases your harvest.

Why Choose Chinese Chestnut

This is a tough, adaptable tree that handles urban conditions, poor soil, and summer heat without complaint. Once established, it needs little from you beyond the occasional watering during drought and an annual spring feeding. The reward is decades of shade and bushels of nuts that connect you to an agricultural tradition that stretches back thousands of years. If you have room for a large tree and want something useful as well as beautiful, Chinese Chestnut delivers.

Great for oily skin & makeup removal
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great for oily skin & makeup removal. Because I’m so oily, I usually wash my face twice to get all the oil & makeup off, but this is pretty good for 1 use, & also feels nice & clean without stripping & no fragrance at all.

Change is not always better.
Love these. Smooth fabric and moist enough. Used to buy the regular ones. They changed the fabric to a rough texture. Pulls on the skin and not as efficient.
