Abstract:

The Dunstan chestnut is a cross between an American chestnut and a blight-resistant Chinese chestnut. The nuts have a sweet taste, especially when roasted over a charcoal fire. A small number of orchardists in the state are trying to interest people in the nuts which are high in carbohydrates and much lower in oil than many other nuts.
