The tree chinquapins blossom a little later, but the alder-leaved chestnut may not blossom until July, later than the common American chestnut.

The chinkapins and the alder-leaved chestnuts on this side hill have been so blight resistant as to require almost no attention, and for that reason I am making hybrids between the chinkapin and the alder-leaved chestnut and the Chinese chestnut in the hope of making an excellent combination of chinkapin quality and Chinese size.
