Dwarf Chestnut 'Chinakapin'

Chinquapins are a type of chestnut. They grow as a large shrub to about 15 feet tall. The nuts they produce are extremely sweet, delicious, and small. The nuts are about the size of a blueberry. They are good raw or roasted, dried or fresh. Chinquapins are native shrubs to the Appalachian range. They are widely planted for wildlife, especially turkeys and grouse.

Extremely rare to buy in the UK.

Flowers are a significant nectar source for honey bees and others.
