Dunstan Chestnut Trees for Sale Online

Once beautiful and abundant, the American Chestnut Tree covered vast tracts of land across the eastern United States for thousands of years until a fungus (blight) from Asia decimated virtually every tree standing on North American soil. After nearly 70 years of absence, the American Chestnut is poised to make a comeback, thanks in part to the Dunstan Chestnut.

Dr. Robert T. Dunstan cross-pollinated American grafts with a mixture of USDA Chinese chestnut selections. The result is the blight-resistant Dunstan Chestnut Tree. It is easy to grow and thrives in a wide variety of areas. Chestnuts are the very best tree for wildlife. Their consistent yearly crop of large, sweet nuts (unlike oaks and other nuts that cycle between heavy and light-years) provides regular, high-quality food for deer, turkey, squirrel, and bear.
