Blight-resistant. Silver-leaved. A chestnut unlike any other.

Castanea crenata var. Silverleaf is a distinctive variety of the Japanese Chestnut selected for its striking silver-backed leaves that shimmer in the wind, giving it exceptional ornamental value in addition to the blight resistance and nut production that make all Japanese Chestnut varieties important in North American cultivation. The Japanese Chestnut is the species that contributed blight resistance to the most important hybrid chestnuts available to North American growers, and the Silverleaf variety carries these same genetics while adding a visual quality that makes it one of the most attractive chestnuts in the landscape. The nuts are smaller than Colossal or Dunstan selections but produced reliably and consistently with genuine sweet chestnut flavor. If you are looking to buy Silverleaf Japanese Chestnut seeds or grow this ornamental and productive chestnut from seed, this is the variety that combines beauty and function.

  • Silver-backed leaves shimmering in the wind, creating a two-toned display unlike any other chestnut
  • Full blight resistance from the Japanese Chestnut parent species that provided the resistance genetics for hybrid breeding
  • Reliably productive nut crop with sweet, edible chestnuts beginning within 3 to 5 years from seed
  • Attractive ornamental tree with the combined value of distinctive foliage and fall nut production
  • Seed-grown trees carry the silverleaf genetic traits and blight resistance of the parent variety

Things you probably did not know about the Silverleaf Japanese Chestnut

The silver undersides of the leaves are covered in fine, dense hairs. The striking silver appearance of the Silverleaf variety's leaf undersides comes from a dense covering of fine, pale hairs called pubescence, more dense than on standard Japanese Chestnut leaves. This pubescence creates a reflective surface that catches light differently from the upper leaf surface, producing the shimmering, two-toned effect visible when wind moves through the canopy.

Japanese Chestnut has been cultivated in Japan for over 2,000 years. Castanea crenata cultivation is documented in Japanese agricultural records dating back more than two millennia, with the nuts playing a significant role in the Japanese autumn harvest tradition. Chestnut rice, roasted chestnuts, and chestnut sweets are among the most traditional autumn foods in Japanese culture, and the Kuri, as the chestnut is known in Japanese, appears throughout Japanese folk tradition and seasonal celebration.

The blight resistance in Japanese Chestnut works through an oxalic acid response. When Cryphonectria parasitica, the blight fungus, infects a Japanese Chestnut, the tree responds by producing elevated levels of oxalic acid in the infected tissue that creates an acidic environment hostile to the fungus, limiting canker expansion. This hypovirulence mechanism is one of two distinct resistance pathways identified in blight-resistant Castanea species, the other being the structural resistance pathway identified in Chinese Chestnut.

Cross-pollination with other chestnut species produces the most productive and blight-resistant offspring. Silverleaf Japanese Chestnut cross-pollinated with American Chestnut hybrids, Chinese Chestnuts, or Dunstan Chestnuts produces offspring that combine resistance mechanisms from multiple parent species and typically outperform either parent in nut production and disease resistance. Planting mixed chestnut species together maximizes both production and the probability of discovering superior individual seedlings.

New formula
Size: 1.6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: New and Improved Formula!
I love the original aqua cream but it seems they have changed the formula and it is a much thinner, more liquidy product. The scent has also changed, though it’s fairly neutral, and it now comes in a smaller glass container compared to the original plastic.

Obsessed. Soothing, effective, fragrance-free, incredibly healing
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
I’ve been loving this so much I bought a second bottle after a few days of using it. It has all the skin soothing benefits of the tolerance lotion cleanser, but it’s also a really great cleanser. It’s almost not noticeable how good it is at cleansing because your skin doesn’t feel stripped after, but it takes things off really quickly. I was worried because it doesn’t foam a lot and it feels so nurturing — much like the tolerance lotion cleanser (which I use as a second cleanse when my skin needs a few days to recover from something like a derm office treatment) — but when I wash again with my favorite HG cleanser nothing extra comes off, and I tested it twice on waterproof eyeliner that I’d swiped on my forearm for an hour or so, the eyeliner dissolved and wiped off with two or three gentle swipes. It has a very emollient texture, so when you rub it against your skin it slips so easily you don’t realize it’s dissolving and taking things away because there is no friction. So it’s great at taking off makeup, it’s AMAZING at cleaning makeup brushes, and IT DOES NOT BURN MY EYES AT ALL. Also, it is FRAGRANCE-FREE… before I bought it I read a review complaining about smelling a citrus fragrance, that person either has some sort of brain tumor or something spilled on their bottle when it was in a warehouse because this is definitely a fragrance-free product. Prior to trying this, I had tried another cleanser that gave me weird acne hives all over my chest (never happened to me before) and I was struggling to heal the acne and the irritation. I noticed an immediate difference when I started using the tolerance cleanser on it; the fresh redness went away, the acne started healing, and the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation has been healing fast. So I’ve been using this on my body as well and it’s soothing and moisturizing in all the places where other things have been drying. I have mild rosacea and I hadn’t realized how irritated my skin was from the last thing I’d tried until after 5 days or so of using this my skin tone looked much more even and the stubborn PIH I have from a two-zit hormonal breakout a month ago finally looked dramatically lighter (as recently as the week before, I’d needed to cover them with high-coverage concealer). Because this doesn’t foam much, some people might not realize how well it’s cleaning… I encourage you to judge it based on how your skin looks and feels. Since it is very emollient though, I do think it’s important to use it with a face wash scrubber or washcloth just to ensure you’re getting some mild mechanical exfoliation and clearing away skin cells that could be trapping stuff in your pores. For this reason, I do wash my face with this twice so the first wash can get off makeup/debris/oil and then the second wash can really penetrate and clean my skin.

No Scent and Gentle
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
I broke out in a case of Perioral Dermatitis recently and bought this product to help before I could see my doctor. Avene Tolerance facial cleanser has no scent and is very gentle on my skin. It didn’t burn when washing with this product, and even helped to slough off the dead skin around my lips. My face feels clean, not dry. I am still going to see my doc to get an RX for the inflammation, but I do believe this product helped to alleviate the dryness and tightness of my skin and lips. I’ve used other Avene products and I’m very happy with them. Even though these products are more expensive, to me they are well worth the money because they are much more gentle on the skin than any other products I’ve used. I will buy this product again just because of the fact that it’s so gentle. PS: at the time of purchase for this product, I also bought Avene’s Tolerance Control Skin Recovery Cream (you don’t need to use a lot of this one on your entire face), and Avene’s Cicalfate for lips. Between these 3 products, my lips and skin feel a lot better (however, I will still see my doctor because I have Crohn’s Disease and Perioral Dermatitis is considered an extra-intestinal side effect of Crohn’s).

Gentle everyday cleanser!
Style: Tolerance Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser
My go to nightly cleanser! Gentle yet effective. Removes makeup without leaving any residue behind. Also does not dry out my skin or cause breakouts! I would say it’s more of a cream cleanser though. It does not really foam up. It’s a decent size bottle for the price. The pump dispenser is an added plus!
