🏞️ Product Description:
The Colossal x Okei Hybrid Chestnut is a fast-growing, high-yielding chestnut tree known for producing exceptionally sweet, high-quality nuts—considered among the best-tasting of any cultivated variety. This tree is ideal for warmer-zone orchards and wildlife properties, where fast nut production and flavor matter most.

While less cold-hardy than some hybrids, it thrives in Zone 5 and warmer, making it a great option for southern and mid-latitude growers.

🌰 Superior Nut Quality:
The nuts from this hybrid are larger and sweeter than most other chestnut varieties, making them perfect for fresh eating, roasting, or attracting wildlife with irresistible taste and nutrition.

🦌 Excellent for Wildlife & Habitat:
Chestnuts are loaded with carbohydrates and offer a high-energy food source for Whitetail deer, turkeys, and other game species during fall. With a consistent September drop, this tree plays a key role in early- to mid-season feeding.

🌱 Strong Grower in the Right Zones:
Best suited for mild to warmer climates, this tree grows quickly and begins producing nuts in just a few years. It performs best when planted in full sun with well-drained soils and some wind protection in colder regions of its range.

🛠️ Planting Tips:

• Space 30–40 ft apart in well-drained, sunny locations

• Use a Tree Survival Kit for protection and strong early growth

• Plant with at least one different chestnut variety for pollination

• Not suitable for coldest climates—stick to Zone 5 or warmer

🐾 Summary:
The Colossal x Okei Hybrid Chestnut is a premium nut-producing tree with superior flavor and fast growth, ideal for wildlife, orchards, or market use in warmer zones. If you're planting in the right region, this tree can be a game-changer.
