Allegheny Chinkapin
The Allegheny Chinkapin (Castanea pumila) is closely related to the Chinese Chestnut Tree. These nuts are about half the size of the regular chestnut. This dwarf tree likes well-drained soils in full sun or partial shad. It is an upland species that does not like wet feet. These can easily be pruned to tree form or more of a bush form. In Chinkapins, the nuts are usually 1 to the bur. The burs are spiny like Chestnuts and the nuts are smallish but very sweet and tasty. These often produce when only three or four years old at a young age which will provide early results for your habitat growth.
