We planted two Chinese Chestnuts - very inexpensive from Burgess - in 2005. They are about 6' tall and we just harvested our first tiny handful of nuts - about what Farmerdill shows. It was very exciting!

I let them cure for a few days, then slit them and roasted at 375 degrees F. for about 8 minutes. I was surprised how easy the halves came out of the shell.
