🏞️ Product Description:
The Dwarf Korean Chestnut is a compact, bushy hybrid tree that delivers impressive mast production without taking up too much space or shading out nearby vegetation. A cross between Korean and Chinese chestnut species, it’s reportedly blight-immune and highly adaptable—perfect for orchard rows, food plot borders, or tighter planting areas.

Despite its modest size, this tree produces sweet, wildlife-attracting chestnuts packed with nutrition. Ideal for areas where you want maximum output without tall canopy competition.

🌳 Built for Borders and Blight Resistance:
Because of its low-growing, shrubby form, this tree fits seamlessly along orchard edges, plot borders, or mixed mast rows. It starts producing nuts as early as 3–5 years, and its dense structure can even provide some cover benefits for small game and upland birds.
