American
Chestnut (Castanea dentata) - Once nearly
eradicated by the chestnut blight and currently on
Michigan’s endangered species list, these trees are being
replanted in an attempt to propagate them once more. The
wood was valued for fence posts, construction lumber and
furniture, and the nuts valued for human and wildlife
consumption. Let’s see if we can reinstate this once nearly
extinct species. Trees are sold in a package of five to
help ensure cross-pollination and survival. Grows best in
well drained sandy soil. Height to 80 feet, 25-50 years.
