CULTIVARS OF CHESTNUT

Chestnut trees have been selected for their characteristics in all of their native countries, and people have propagated those with bitter nuts or straighter trunks to suit their needs. “Named
cultivars” are clones of trees with desirable characteristics. Since they are identical, and chestnuts will not self-pollinate, two or more cultivars (or some seedlings which are all different) must be
planted to provide pollen for each other. Some hybrid chestnut trees are male-sterile and produce no pollen, and that is indicated on the list below. Cultivars are grafted onto compatible
rootstocks, and are sold by many nurseries. Information on nut size has not been systematically collected in all of the U.S. growing regions for cultivars, so the list below has only general
information for most of them.
