Chestnut Trees

Our Bare-Root (BR) nursery stock. We are now taking orders for chestnut trees for the 2024 fall planting season and for the 2025 spring planting season.  These are 1-year-old (1 season) seedlings that are shippable and easy to plant.  We offer two sizes with size difference being due to how big they grew in the nursery.  We’ve not seen much long-term difference in performance of regular size vs large size. (We discard small seedlings.)  We have a limited supply of plug-grown trees that can be shipped and planted in the fall (Sep-Dec) We have a larger supply of bare-root trees that are dug and shipped December through May when transit temperatures are above 15 F. 

Our Container nursery stock. For those who want larger trees.  We have a limited supply of 2 and 3-yr old trees in pots that are 4 to 6 ft tall.  These must be picked up at our nursery.  The best time to plant container trees is September through November.  The price for these trees is to each.  If you are interested in these email Greg at empirechestnut@gmail for availability and to arrange pick-up time.
