Chestnuts for sale...just passing along...

[TS_13]

Hey guys, reading the other post reminded me to let anyone who might be interested in chestnut trees that I found a good local source outside of Wallyworld.

He had quite a few 3yr trees and 1 yr old trees. The 3yr olds were about 1 inch caliper and about 8-9 ft. Looked like some had chestnuts on them last year. They are rootmaker trees, look really good. I have no dog in the hunt, I just wanted to pass this along to whomever might be looking for some trees.

The 1yr trees (4ft or so) I think were $15.00, the three yr (9 ft or so inch caliper) were $45.00.

Just a FYI, Walmart is selling the Dunstans this year for $35.00 I think, and they are a lot smaller trees.

 

[Hollar Hunter]

Do you know which Walmart is carrying the dunstans this year?

I looked it up the other day. I remember south Nashville... Antioch I believe.

Was able to get up to Rock Bridge Trees this Saturday and get my dozen chestnut trees. They are in Root-trapper bags, trees look great and had nice visit with Dave.

No nonsense gentleman, took time to talk trees with me and showed me the stock he has on hand.

I will be going back for some of his persimmons later in the year, his grafted northern variety may be just what I am looking for. I may do some in larger Air Pots at my house till I get them bigger and watering is not such a problem as it would be on my place where they will wind up. I will have my hands full babying the chestnuts this summer, and having the persimmons close at hand will make them easier to look after, plus they are smaller, and I may even keep them two years in the air pots.

Dave has a lot of one year old chestnut trees that look great, he is doing this right. For those looking for quick results on hard mast, this is a find.

He is a good guy. He has three types of persimmons. One drops in September, one in October, and one in November.

I like the fact that he is local as well....

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

TS-13, two of my chestnuts you sent have sprouted! I am excited to see them grow! Thanks again.

 

[TS_13]

Awesome! They should grow like gang busters.... Let me know how they do.

They are 15 dollars for the one year old trees. They were about 5' tall when i picked them up. It is very close to Gallatin.
