What size Chestnut trees should I buy?
- If you are not in a hurry to get a full sized Chestnut tree, we recommend starting with the smaller 6/8cm girth size.
- If you are in a hurry and need instant impact, then go for the 8/10cm girth size.
Standard trees are measured by their girth 1 metre above the ground, and young saplings are measured by height.
So, a 6/8cm Standard Chestnut tree is much bigger than a 60/80cm Chestnut sapling tree or hedge plant.
If a tree is available in both sizes, it will be noted in the product description.
