The Largest Chestnut Orchard in Arkansas

Grown from seed each March and among the largest first-season trees you’ll find anywhere in the United States.

Chestnut trees are available for pre-order and will be ready this fall.

Our trees typically grow to about 6 feet, with some reaching up to 9 feet in their first year.

Customers have reported getting chestnuts on their trees as early as the second year!

Some of our Ozark Chinquapin Chestnut trees headed out to a customer in Huntsville, Alabama. Just one of many chestnut trees varieties we offer along with chestnuts. Did you know that the Ozark Chinquapin Chestnut is a cousin to the American Chestnut?

I’m sorry, but we’re closed for the night. Deer seem to love chestnuts a little too much and they can’t resist using the trees for rubbing, even when you think they’re big enough to go without their protective tubes.

It was quite a surprise to see chestnuts this year from our Ozark Chinquapins. Just a few weeks ago, with the drought and even after hauling water to their remote locations, it seemed unlikely we’d get any at all. We’ll be cold stratifying the seed in the refrigerator over the winter so they’re ready to grow into new trees for our customers this spring.

Joe and Mary drove all the way from West Branch, Iowa to pick up their 12 Ozark Chinquapin trees. They are standing in front of one of the mother trees on our farm. We definitely enjoyed visiting with them while they were here and wish them a safe trip back!
