NW Broadleafed Evergreen Trees

GOLDEN CHINKAPIN (Chrysolepis chrysophylla)
An unusual broadleafed evergreen nut tree native to the West coast. Distantly related to chestnut - in older books the genus is listed as Castanopsis, which means chestnut like. Has a prickly husk containing one to three small, thin shelled, nuts. Very sweet and flavorful. Medium large, dark green, oval shaped leaves with golden undersides. A tall, narrow, upright grower in the shape of a fir tree. Rather slow growing and can be difficult to establish - which is why it isn't more commonly available. Native from the mountains of Northern California through the Cascades and Coast range of Oregon. In Washington state it is found only in isolated pockets in the Southern Olympic foothills along Hood Canal, in the big Lava Beds area South of Mt. Adams and in the Columbia Gorge. Best on well drained soils. Probably not well adapted beyond it's native range. Small conatainer grown seedlings.
