Castanea mollissima ~ Chinese Chestnut semi-evergreen Spring Delight Japanese Maple isChinese Chestnut is a low branching deciduous tree with edible nuts and bark that becomes furrowed with it age. The long, toothed dark green leaves with lighter undersides turn varying shades of yellow in fall.

Tolerates heat, humidity, and drought. Chinese
