The Allegheny Chinquapin, also known as chinquapins, are native nut trees that can be found in East Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, northern Florida, and the Carolinas. These trees are closely related to the American chestnut but have managed to survive despite the devastating effects of chestnut blight on their relatives. Allegheny Chinquapins produce small, sweet nuts that are enjoyed by wildlife and humans alike. They are a valuable addition to any landscape, providing both beauty and ecological benefits.
