Chestnut Oak (Quercus prinus), also known as Rock Chestnut Oak or White Oak type, is a durable, long-lived native tree valued for its strong wood, deep root system, and attractive broad canopy. These acorn seeds grow into impressive shade trees that thrive on rocky slopes, well-drained soils, and challenging terrain where other oaks struggle.
This hardy species adapts well to both urban and natural landscapes, offering year-round interest with deeply ridged bark and rich green foliage that warms to golden-brown shades in fall. Chestnut Oak is ideal for wildlife gardens, large yards, and restoration projects, supporting birds, mammals, and pollinators with its acorns and habitat structure.
These Non-GMO Chestnut Oak Acorn Seeds germinate reliably when properly cold-stratified and are perfect for long-term landscape growth.
