The blight survivor. The tree that kept the chestnut alive.

Castanea mollissima, the Chinese Chestnut, is the species that saved the chestnut from complete extinction in North America, carrying the blight resistance that the American Chestnut lacked and producing the genetics that made every blight-resistant hybrid possible. In its own right it is an excellent nut-producing tree, bearing large, sweet chestnuts in spiny husks every fall that are edible fresh, roasted, or preserved, and developing into a beautiful, wide-spreading shade tree with attractive dark green foliage and creamy white flower spikes in early summer. It is the foundation species for Dunstan Chestnut and numerous other blight-resistant hybrids, and growing it directly from seed remains one of the most reliable ways to establish productive chestnut trees. If you are looking to buy Chinese Chestnut seeds or grow blight-resistant chestnut from seed, this is the species that the restoration of chestnut to the American forest is built on.

  • The blight-resistant species that provided the disease resistance essential for all blight-resistant chestnut hybrids
  • Produces large, sweet, edible nuts in fall, excellent fresh, roasted, or used in cooking
  • Wide-spreading shade tree with attractive dark green foliage and early summer flower spikes
  • One of the most reliable and productive nut trees for home orchards across a wide range of climates
  • Begins producing nuts in 3 to 5 years from seed, faster than most large nut trees

Things you probably did not know about the Chinese Chestnut

It has been cultivated in China for over 6,000 years. Chinese Chestnut cultivation is documented in Chinese agricultural texts dating back to the Zhou Dynasty and the tree appears in Chinese botanical literature throughout recorded history as a major food and timber crop. The diversity of Chinese Chestnut varieties developed through millennia of Chinese cultivation is extensive, with hundreds of regional selections for nut size, flavor, shell thickness, and ripening date.

The flowers smell intensely unpleasant but are critically important to pollinators. Chestnut flowers, like those of many trees in the beech family, produce a catkin-based bloom with a strong, musty fragrance that some describe as unpleasant. Despite this, the flowers are intensely attractive to native bees, wasps, and beetles that are critical pollinators. The smell that deters humans is precisely the signal that the pollinator species are responding to.

Cross-pollination between two different chestnut trees dramatically increases nut production. Like most chestnuts, Chinese Chestnut produces better and more reliable nut crops when cross-pollinated with a different individual. A single isolated tree may produce some nuts but two or more trees of different genetic origins consistently outperform isolated trees by a significant margin. Seed-grown trees, each being genetically unique, cross-pollinate freely with any other chestnut.

The nuts can be ground into flour as a gluten-free grain substitute. Chestnut flour produced from dried, ground Chinese Chestnut has been used in cooking across Europe and Asia for centuries. It is naturally sweet, gluten-free, and has a distinctive flavor that works well in cakes, pasta, and porridge. Traditional Italian preparations including castagnaccio, a dense chestnut flour cake, and French châtaigne crepes are made exclusively from chestnut flour. The low-fat, high-carbohydrate profile makes chestnut flour nutritionally different from other nut flours.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
