UMCA PQK chestnut seedling (3’–6′) available as a single tree for farm pickup only at EBB Farms in western Kentucky – the farm lab for United Chestnuts. You can choose as many trees as you need when you come to the farm.
About this product
This product is for single UMCA PQK chestnut seedling trees, 3’–6′ tall, available for pickup at EBB Farms. There is no shipping on this item. Instead, you come to the farm, choose your trees, and load them up.
The UMCA PQK chestnut seedling has earned a place in our own plantings. It grows fast, handles real‑world conditions well, and stays reliable when you are investing serious time and money into chestnuts.
We grow each UMCA PQK chestnut seedling in a nursery bag and keep it larger than our shippable seedlings. Because of that, these trees feel like “instant orchard” trees and can make a visible impact the day you plant them.

Why choose farm‑pickup UMCA PQK chestnut seedlings?
Sometimes you want more than a small seedling. You want UMCA PQK chestnut seedlings that already feel established in your hands.
These 3’–6′ PQK trees give you:
-
A head start on canopy: Taller trees help you see structure and spacing sooner.
-
More presence: Bigger trees stand out in the field and act as anchor points in new or mixed plantings.
-
On‑site selection: Because you pick them up at the farm, you can see each UMCA PQK chestnut seedling in person and choose the ones that fit your goals.
If you are close enough to visit EBB Farms and want to leave with “instant orchard” trees, this format is a good fit.
EBB Farms – the farm lab for United Chestnuts
EBB Farms – the farm lab for United Chestnuts – is a working chestnut orchard in western Kentucky. Here, we test ideas in real fields, not just on screens.
We plant trees and try different spacings, understory strategies, and management approaches. Then we talk honestly about what works and what fails so other growers don’t have to start from zero.
We’re not breeders or lab scientists. We’re growers. What you buy from EBB Farms comes from our own experience: planting, protecting, and managing trees through weather swings, weeds, wildlife pressure, and all the normal chaos of a chestnut‑centered farm.
How farm pickup works
Because these UMCA PQK chestnut seedling trees are larger (3’–6′), we do not ship them. Instead, the process is simple:
-
Place your order and note how many trees you plan to pick up.
-
Schedule a pickup time at EBB Farms.
-
Come to the farm, look over the trees, and choose the ones you want.
-
Load them into your vehicle or trailer with our help as needed.
This approach keeps the trees in good shape, reduces shipping stress, and lets you see the stock before it goes into your soil.
Rooted in real‑world experience
We grow these larger PQK trees the same way we plant for ourselves. Because of that, we focus on strong roots, healthy trunks, and good structure so the trees can settle in quickly once they reach your farm.
We do not promise perfection. Instead, we share what has gone well, what has not, and how PQK has fit into our plans and into the plans of other growers we work with.
When you pick up UMCA PQK chestnut seedling trees from EBB Farms, you step into a real story: muddy boots, field walks, lessons learned, and a community of growers who compare notes and improve together.
