Prolific Chestnut
Price range: $9.00 through $40.00
(Castanea sativa) Prolific is an excellent producer of large crops of sweet tasty nuts that peel well. Grows vigorously, and produces impressive large seedlings. We like this one a lot.
Does well in cooler climates, from Centralia, WA. Needs a pollinator.
