Horse Chestnut is a medium sized deciduous tree that is native to Greece but has been grown in North America for hundreds of years. It produces large nuts. A top CO2 absorbing species. Experts think this tree may help climate change more than others.
American Hazelnut is a cold hardy, disease resistant, and long-lived nut tree. It is a great choice for a shrub border for wide, open spaces where it will be allowed to spread. Typically used in naturalization projects for its spreading nature, American Hazelnut is ideal for our zone 4 customers. HORSE CHESTNUT QUICK FACTSAMERICAN HAZELNUT/FILBERT QUICK FACTS
