Idaho grown chestnuts.
Sadly, American chestnuts slipped from reality to fairy tale nearly a century ago.
This is a strain of chestnut that has been crossed with a domestic nut and a Chinese chestnut. They’re blight-free chestnuts
I know which trees are the best producers, which ones are the easiest to get the nuts out of the burr, the size of the nuts and so on.
You’ll see that I have trees marked with different colored ribbons and that’s because I keep track of their production on an annual basis.
