Reply:Many nurseries carry blight resistant varieties of Chestnut trees for the homeowner. The Chinese is the most widely available. It's a small tree, seldom reaching 50 feet. The nuts are large and sweet. The trees are sterile, so plant two different varieties for good pollination. Hybrid trees are available. They vary in characteristic depending on type. Many are excellent in size and nut quality.



Nut trees are sold in the spring. Shipped bare root, they require no special handling. Dig a large hole deep enough for the roots. Don't amend the soil or add fertilizers. Putting anything in the hole will encourage the roots to stay shallow. Plant the tree at the same depth it was planted at the nursery. To find this, look at the bark near the roots. You will see the different colors in the bark. Plant your tree, back filling the hole with the soil you dug out. Water generously. That eliminates air pockets and lets the roots grow. Keep your tree watered, 8-10 gallons of water a week during the growing season. After a few weeks fertilize with water soluble fertilizer. Mulch around your tree to a depth of 2-3 inches. Keep the mulch from touching the trunk of the tree.



Chestnuts will bear nuts at 5-7 years old. Your tree will continue to produce nuts for the next 50 years. Plenty of time to learn all the words to that familiar Christmas refrain, "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..."
