American chestnut (Castanea x neglecta) - 4 cuttings (for grafting)

A natural hybrid of the low chestnut (Castanea pumila) and the toothed chestnut (C. x neglecta). Rarely found in the wild and in cultivation. Medium-sized trees. Fruit are rather small, tasty, and ripen early.

Mr. Piotr Banaszczak from the Rogów Arboretum and Anna Jankowska, a well-known breeder of chestnuts and nuts (and once also tomatoes), revealed that within the Castanea genus, there is significant incompatibility, and the scion and rootstock don't always fuse. Interestingly, hybrids (generative) are much easier to obtain.

However, when propagating chestnuts vegetatively, you can be sure to get 100% identical results. However, hybrids can occur among seedlings propagated from seed.

In selling package of 4 grafting sticks (scions).

We include a plant passport with the orders.
