Sweet Chestnut

This large ornamental and edible-nut tree: a long-lived landscape specimen providing dense shade, fragrant catkin flowers in early summer, and edible chestnuts in autumn on a stately, broad-canopied framework.

• Large pyramidal tree with a substantial trunk.
• Coarsely toothed deep green leaves turn to yellow in fall.
• Deeply fissured bark spirals up the trunk.
• Separate male and female flowers on the same tree, but not self-pollinating.
• Grows best in full sun.
