American Chestnut (Castanea Dentata) is a perennial tree in the Fagaceae family with expert care difficulty. It requires moderate watering and full sun or partial shade light in USDA hardiness zones 4-8. This plant is safe for cats and dogs.

Once a dominant forest tree in eastern North America, the American chestnut is now mostly found as small sprouts or rare mature trees due to the chestnut blight.
