I finally made it up to my chestnuts in NW Ohio last summer while they were blooming. You can see a big difference between the catkins of the two species:
The two together: Closeup of the American: Closeup of the Chinese The American Tree in the Fall. Tree was planted ~ 1990. The first nuts were in 2010, and this is its heaviest seed set yet.
