Allegheny Chinquapin Native Tree (Castanea pumila) – Wildlife & Edible Nut Tree

Allegheny Chinquapin, botanically known as Castanea pumila, is a native nut-producing tree or large shrub found in the Southeastern United States. It is closely related to the American chestnut and produces small, sweet, edible nuts that are enjoyed by both people and wildlife.

This native tree is a great choice for wildlife plantings, natural areas, edible landscapes, and native plant gardens. The nuts are highly attractive to deer, turkey, squirrels, and other wildlife. Allegheny Chinquapin also provides good habitat value and is a beautiful addition to a North Florida landscape.

Allegheny Chinquapin grows best in full sun to part sun and prefers well-drained soil. It is a tough native plant once established and is a wonderful option for landowners wanting to add more native food sources for wildlife.
