Pick your own chestnuts at this historic orchard! Skyline Chestnuts is a 20-acre orchard sitting at an elevation of about 2,500 feet above Palo Alto in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
The Skyline Chestnut Orchard was originally planted over 100, and perhaps as long as 150 years ago. Shortly after California was acquired by the United States in 1847, a Spanish settler moved up into the mountains where he planted the oldest of the trees growing there today.
Every season is a little different so be sure to check the website for dates and recommended times to pick.

“Do not touch us!
er of chestnut burrs will grow into next year’s crop. Unless they are damaged. We are mentioning this because there are a lot of chestnuts on low branches right now. When people hit or pick f’rom the branches, they are hurting the tree and reducing next year’s crop. The trees are not to be touched. If you see someone hitting branches or stripping chestnuts from a tree, please ask them to stop if you are comfortable doing so. Please also consider taking a photo and showing it to us. We need your help!DIRECTIONS
