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.
