WC Chestnut

‘WC’ (C. mollissima × C. pumila) is named after W. C. Donoho of Louisville, KY, a member of the Kentucky Nut Growers Association. The tree is possibly a sibling of ‘Qing’. Its large, dark nuts resemble those of ‘Qing’ because they are similar in size and sweetness and store well. ‘WC’ is more vigorous than ‘Qing’ and may graft more easily (Nave, 2017).
