Spectracide Triacide will put the whammie on bag worms.
Yes you need at least two for pollination. Chestnuts have both male and female parts but are not able to pollinate themselves. They pollinate by wind. When planted they need to be protected from deer and rabbits. When I plant I use a 40x40 weed mat so a young seedling is not competing with weeds and grass and it holds ground moisture. I use a 5' tree protector tube it acts like a greenhouse in winter and condenses when it's hot outside for a little moisture. It protects the tree from deer and rabbits. Don't let my trees branch until they are out of the tube. Then branches are for the most part out of deers reach.When planting these, it it necessary to have at least 2 of them ?
I planted 2 last fall and the deer browsed one so badly, it ended up drying.
Thanks, been doing Dunstans for 9 years. Have done other trees in the past. If you do decide to try this you can contact me if you have other questions. If you want a couple of trees or more, or know someone who does, I'll be selling trees starting October 1st.Gosh, you have this down to a perfect science @mcbuck58 . I'd love to try this
