I just purchased 2 of these trees as a Christmas present for my father who has been wanting chestnut tree's for years. I am curious how long it will take for them to produce nuts? Has anyone had this variety in the ground for a few years?
 
I plant mine 20-30 ft apart. Depending on your PH you can use an acidic fertilizer or just straight fertilizer. There again depending on your deficiencies in the soil. I like triple 13 twice a growing season, and maybe once during November-December.

I am sure others have preferences, and better ideas though.

FH How tall are your 4 year old dunstans? How talk were they when you planted them? Thanks just interested in their growth rate...

Several Walmarts in TN actually had them this past spring (they are from the Realtree Nursery). I don't know if they will get any in next spring. I bought 6 of them, planted 2 of them and potted up the other 4 in larger containers until about a month ago when I set them out. One of them actually had 2 nuts this summer.

Nice.

I wonder if Wal Mart will have more of these.
