Mossbarger Chestnut

About the Mossbarger Chestnut Tree

Grow your own chestnuts with a reliable producer like Mossbarger!

Originating from Kentucky, in 1983, the Mossbarger is a tried-and-true variety. The Mossbarger Chestnut tree produces large, sweet nuts that ripen early to midseason. Mossbarger is known for its consistently large crops. This hybrid is very productive and produces high-quality nuts ideal for roasting or grinding into gluten-free flour. They can also be stored in the freezer for long-term storage.

Chestnuts are a fast-growing perennial tree that produces a delicious, sweet-tasting nut high in complex carbohydrates. These native trees are now cultivated and bred for blight resistance, allowing landowners to add a reliable source of nuts to their property. Chestnut trees grow large and are easy to maintain once established.

For proper pollination, plant two seedlings or a grafted chestnut variety.
