During the 2023-2024 bareroot season, we’re offering six varieties of chestnuts. Chestnut trees usually need a pollinator tree: another chestnut tree with fertile pollen that blooms in the same window. Some chestnut trees are partially, or even fully, self fertile (will produce nuts without a pollinator tree) and some chestnut trees are sterile (meaning they cannot produce their own nuts or be a pollinator tree). Since all this can be confusing, here is a pollination chart for the varieties of chestnuts we offer:<\/p>

Chestnut Variety<\/strong>*<\/td>Bloom Time<\/strong><\/td>Pollinator?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Bouche de Betizac<\/td>Mid-season<\/td>Pollen sterile <\/td><\/tr>
Belle Epine<\/td>Mid\/late-season<\/td>Good pollinator + partially self-fertile<\/td><\/tr>
Maraval<\/td>Early<\/td>Good pollinator + self-fertile<\/td><\/tr>
Marron di val di susa<\/td>Late-season<\/td>Pollen sterile<\/td><\/tr>
Tsukuba<\/td>Mid-season<\/td>unknown?<\/td><\/tr>
Colossal<\/td>Early<\/td>Pollen sterile<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
Some good combinations are:
Bouche de Betizac and Belle Epine,
Maraval and Colossal,
or Marron di val di susa with Belle Epine.

More information is needed for Tsukuba.<\/figcaption><\/figure>

*Please note that all our chestnut trees are seedlings and will show some genetic variability from their parent tree. All our chestnut seedlings are grown from nuts\/seeds that were originally pollinated by a pollinator tree, which will hopefully improve pollination characteristics of the seedling.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
