The Chinquapin is a sub-species of the Chestnut family. It grows as a small tree or bush. Chinquapin plants are delicious eaten right out of the burr in the Fall. Chinquapins have a single nut in the burr, unlike chestnuts that have nut divisions. They are understory trees that grow in our native forests. However, heavy logging throughout the U.S has made finding native chinquapin trees harder than ever. The chinquapin tree is excellent for fresh eating, roasting, or for wildlife food. Willis Orchard Company offers these rare trees on a limited supply. So, order early to reserve your chinquapin trees or order more nut trees for sale online.

What is a Hardiness Zone?
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined by average annual minimum winter temperatures, helping gardeners determine which plants can survive in their region. Developed by the USDA, the 13 numerical zones indicate cold hardiness—for example, a plant "hardy to zone 10" tolerates minimum temperatures of 30 to 40 °F (−1.1 to 4.4 °C).
