CASTANEA MOLLISSSMA.
Chinese Chestnuts.  From north
China. Collected by Frank N. Meyer
from old trees in a region where the
chestnut bark disease has probably
existed for centuries. High degree of
resistance but not entire immunity
probable. Hardy tree, not valuable
for timber, being only 40 feet tall and
low-branching. Nuts larger than 
American, but not so sweet.

CRENATA. Hybrid Chestnut. A
hybrid between the American 
chinquapin and the Japanese chestnut.

disease. Nuts of fair quality intermediate 
in size between the chinquapin
and Japanese chestnut.
