Here are pictures of our Chestnut tree elements. The leaf looks like a combination of the American and Chinese variety.

Based upon review of these images and our tree, it looks like we have a hybrid chestnut tree. The leaf in the top picture resembles both varieties. The lentles in the second picture look like American Chestnut lentles. The burrs resemble the Chinese chestnut variety. The nuts are big like Chinese chestnuts, but they are hairy like the American variety.
I am calling our trees hybrid chestnuts until I can get the definitive word from the American Chestnut foundation.
