Where To Buy Chestnut Trees
$0.00
Twelve pages on choosing the right chestnut nursery before you buy. This chestnut nursery guide covers specialty nurseries by region, shipping versus farm pickup, UMCA® PQK seedlings, how to read roots and labels, and six questions to ask any nursery.
A chestnut tree you plant this year may still be bearing nuts decades from now. That’s why where it came from matters so much. This chestnut nursery guide helps you choose a nursery that grows chestnuts, knows its mother trees, and will still answer your questions after the sale.
It comes from EBB Farms in Falls of Rough, Kentucky, the farm lab for United Chestnuts. We grow thousands of chestnut seedlings in our nurseries each year, and these are the same questions we’d ask before buying a tree ourselves.

Why Your Chestnut Nursery Matters
A general garden center may sell chestnuts beside maples and arborvitae, but chestnuts behave very differently. Species get mislabeled, and root systems vary widely. As a result, a tree can look fine on the lot and still struggle after planting. A specialty chestnut nursery knows the difference.
Find Chestnut Growers Near You
No single nursery fits every grower. That’s why the guide includes a regional nursery table and a walkthrough of the Chestnut Growers of America membership directory. Climate, cold hardiness, and suitability vary by region, and sometimes the best choice is a chestnut specialist closer to home.
