CHESTNUTS TUMBLING TO THE GROUND AFTER A HARD FROST ARE AGAIN A REALITY 
For those who long for the Chestnuts of their childhood days, the Chinese Blight-Resistant 
Chestnut tree is the answer. Luckily, these trees are able to resist the blight which killed our native 
Chestnut trees. Chinese Chestnut trees start bearing when very young and keep increasing their 
yield for years to come. Maybe you have never had the experience of sitting on a Chestnut bur 
when gathering them; but even so, the thrill of eating Chestnuts roasted over the open fire or on 
the stove is something to be looked forward to. Chinese Chestnuts when boiled or roasted are 
delicious beyond description.
