Large, sweet, easy peeling variety from Northern Italy. Plump, rounded nuts in well filled burrs. Marron di Val di Susa Chestnut ripens well in cool Northern regions despite it being a late ripener. Burrs often drop before opening, protecting nuts from predation by wildlife. Good pollinator. |

OKEI CHESTNUT (Castanea crenata |
Very large, round orange-brown nuts are larger than Colossal and ripen 2 weeks later. A good pollinizer for Colossal and others and a good choice if blight is likely to be a problem. Selected at U.C. Davis, CA from a seedling of Silverleaf. Okei Chestnuts have nuts that are of average quality with some tendancy to split, not a heavy yielder. Zone 4-8. |

SILVERLEAF CHESTNUT (Eurobella) (Castanea crenata) |
One of our best producers with a large, dark brown, sweet nut that peels very well. Small tree form that is narrow and upright. An excellent pollen producer for Colossal and others. Silverleaf chestnut is a widely adapted and blight resistant tree. Early ripening. In California, some of its largest nuts have split husks but that hasn't been a problem here in the Northwest. Also known as the variety 'Eurobella". May be Japanese x European x Chinkapin. |
