Ozark Chinquapin Chestnut, Castanea Ozarkensis
There’s one place, and only one place, to get blight resistant Ozark Chinquapin Chestnut seeds, which is via the Ozark Chinquapin Foundation. They send out a few seeds to each contributing member, as available, on a yearly basis. Please check their website for more information. Please be highly skeptical of the authenticity or legality of any other entity claiming to sell Castanea Ozarkensis. Many trees of this species are still awaiting discovery. I found my first 8 in 2023, theretofore unknown to humanity.
Dunstan chestnuts, wild Ozark Chinquapin nuts, and on the bottom, perhaps true American chestnuts?
Chestnuts have been savored in every region in which they naturally occur. They’re one of my favorite trees. They fall into an obscure group of trees, those which are useful to humans but under which cannot be walked around barefoot.
