The Allegheny Chinkapin or dwarf chestnut, Castanea pumila, is a small shrub/tree that can grow between 15-30ft tall. The Chinkapin nuts are edible to humans and wildlife, having a sweet flavor. They are not grown commercially, so they're a unique foraging opportunity! They are susceptible to chestnut blight, but more resistant than the American Chestnut. Prefers full sun in well-draining soils. Great wildlife value, and a unique species not typically found at nurseries.
