6′ to 8′ UMCA® PQK Chestnut Seedlings (Farm Pickup)

A Proven Hybrid for Today’s Grower

The UMCA PQK chestnut seedling is a standout hybrid developed through the University of Missouri’s chestnut breeding program. Selected for productivity, adaptability, and resilience, this tree represents the future of chestnut orchards in the U.S. — and it’s ready to take root on your farm.

Strong Roots, Healthy Growth

Each tree offered here is 6–8 feet tall with a well-developed root system grown in high-quality nursery bags at EBB Farms in Western Kentucky.

A tree that transitions smoothly from nursery to field, establishing quickly and growing with confidence.
