About this product
First, this product includes 10 Sleeping Giant chestnut seedlings, each about 3’–4′ tall at shipping. We grow these seedlings at EBB Farms in western Kentucky – the farm lab for United Chestnuts.
Next, Sleeping Giant chestnut seedlings are known for vigor and cold hardiness, which makes them a fit for orchards, homesteads, and wildlife plantings across a wide range of sites. In our own blocks and collaborating farms, they have been reliable enough that we keep planting them.
In addition, we raise these trees in quality nursery bags. Then we ship them at a size that feels like a real orchard tree. Because of this, this 10‑tree bundle works well for a starter row, a small block, or filling gaps in an existing planting.

EBB Farms – the farm lab for United Chestnuts
At EBB Farms, the farm lab for United Chestnuts, we run a working chestnut orchard in western Kentucky. We test chestnut ideas under real farm conditions, not in theory.
We plant Sleeping Giant chestnut seedlings, try different spacings and management paths, and then share what worked and what did not so other growers don’t have to start from zero. The same trees you see in our fields are the types of trees you can order from this page.
Root systems and other options
These seedlings grow in nursery bags. This gives them sturdy, well‑developed root systems that feel like real trees in your hands.
If you want other options, you can also explore:
-
20 Sleeping Giant chestnut seedlings (3’–4′) for a larger block
-
Farm‑pickup trees (3’–6′) if you are close enough to visit and want bigger stock
Many growers start with 10 trees to get a feel for Sleeping Giant. Later, they expand with more bundles or mix in other cultivars once they see how it behaves on their land.
Rooted in real‑world experience
At EBB Farms, we grow Sleeping Giant chestnut seedlings the same way we plant for ourselves. We focus on good roots, clean planting, and protection through the early years when the trees are most vulnerable.
We know not everything goes perfectly. For that reason, we share what has gone well, what has not, and how this 10‑tree bundle has fit into our own blocks and into plantings on other farms.
Learn with us: tours, stories, and the podcast
