Description
This product cannot be shipped to California.
The Nevada Chestnut Tree yields a medium sized nut with a dark, brown shell and a very sweet tasting kernel. The tree is very vigorous and upright, and can be used as a pollinizer for Colossal Chestnuts, for which one tree can normally pollinate 8 to 10 trees. The Nevada Chestnut itself also needs a pollinator, for which the Colossal works as well. The nuts are able to be harvested in early October.

USDA Hardiness Zones
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. A plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of −1.1 to 4.4 °C (30 to 40 °F).
