Chinese Chestnut - Castanea mollissima

The Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is a large flowering shade tree for landscapes and gardens. This tree has a beautiful dense shape with long lasting showy flowers. The habit photo does not do this tree justice. The flower puts off a terrible odor from flower that is as vivid as the bloom. The native species is most common in production.
