Horse Chestnut vs Burton HicanAesculus hippocastanum Carya ovata x illinoinensis Burton ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW SOLD OUT
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.
Burton Hican is a rare cross between Shagbark Hickory and Pecan. Most Hickory x Pecan hybrids are not reliable producers but the Burton Hican produces large crops annually (in warmer climates). The medium sized nuts fall in between the Pecan and Hickory and are known for having a great flavor. They are well suited to fresh eating, cooking, and baking with a good storage life.
