Chestnut trees produce a marketable crop by the fourth or fifth leaf. Mature trees can produce between 100 and 500 pounds of chestnuts per tree. Chestnuts can easily be cultivated as an organic crop. Our trees are a Colossal variety, which produce a large, sweet, easy to peel chestnut. These trees offer a tremendous opportunity as a long term, annual food production system that is relatively easy to maintain.
Chestnuts are a diverse food source.
They can be used in many ways as a basic carbohydrate source such as a grain or vegetable, and in a variety of other manners.
