[QUOTE="dogtown, post: 5424000, member: 2968"] I planted some bareroot chestnuts from the TN Nursery in 2013. About 30 of the 50 survived thru a very dry first summer. I planted in a variety of soil moisture locations and sun levels. The trees on a field edge with most fertile soil are by far the tallest, but thus far no nuts (first blooms were this last spring). A large number of my trees were planted in marginal soil on a flat ridge that was basically a briar patch. These trees although a bit smaller have a few nuts this year. I continue to maintain this stand by cutting adjacent tree growth to lessen shading. I have a second set of bareroot trees from the TN nursery from last year that are in pots. Will plant in the next month. I also was given seeds of purebred American Chestnuts from the NY Chapter of the American Chestnut Foundation. some two years ago and some this winter. I am moving them to the farm in late October on the other side of ridge away from the hybrids I have. I hope they take. [/QUOTE]
