Save. There are four different varieties of edible chestnuts: American, European, Chinese and Japanese. The chestnut tree is related to the beech and the oak tree. Chestnuts used to be the main starch staple in Europe until the potato was introduced. Do not confuse edible chestnuts with horse chestnuts or buckeyes, which are both inedible. 2  A Chinese chestnut tree is not the same thing as a water chestnut. 3  A water chestnut is a native Asian aquatic plant with corms on the roots that are harvested and used in many Asian dishes.
The American Chestnut is a large, broad tree that produces an edible chestnut. Large leaves turn yellow and brown in autumn. At least two American Chestnuts planted no more than 200' apart are required for producing chestnuts.This tree was very common before blight wiped out most of them in the early 1900's.ur pure American Chestnuts come from mature parents who have survived the blight and are producing chestnut seeds. For now, the possibility of American Chestnuts getting the blight sometime in their life is a real possibility.
