American Chestnut (Castanea dentata) - Once nearly eradicated by the chestnut blight and  currently on Michigan’s endangered species list, these trees are being   replanted in an attempt to propagate them once more.  The wood was valued for fence posts, construction lumber and furniture, and the nuts valued for human and wildlife consumption.  Let’s see if we can reinstate this once nearly extinct species.  Trees are sold in a package of five to help ensure cross-pollination and survival.  Grows best in well drained sandy soil.  Height to 80 feet, 25-50 years.

Five 18”+ Seedlings    $15.00
