Has anyone heard of this variety of Chestnut? Apparently it’s supposed to be a close cousin to the Dunstan? Anyway, wondering if anyone has any trees or nuts or I would really love some scion wood to graft on to a few of my Walmart Dunstan trees. Thanks, Matt Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Anyone ever put one of these out? If so what kind of rope did you use? Lure? Thanks, Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone here familiar with drone recovery services for wounded animals? How much they charge, etc. We do not have anything like that around here and I’m considering starting up something like this for local hunters this deer season. Matt Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Does anyone need DCO grown in Zone 8a? My yard tree made way more than I’ll ever need. This tree is mixed in amongst a few Concordia and another regular Chinquapin so who knows what it crossed with. Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you have a Dunstan Chestnut tree where the burrs open up ON the tree allowing the nuts to fall to the ground? If so, I would like to see if I could purchase some from you so that I can grow a few. My next option would be nuts from a tree where the burrs partially open but fall free from the...

Anyone have any AC they’d be willing to part with? Thanks, Matt Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’ve been wanting one of those shooting rests that swivel made by Final Rest for quite a while but never can make myself pull the trigger due to price. I know. We spend money on everything else what’s another couple of hundred, right? Well I decided to see if I could try and make one. Probably...

I know this is probably a long shot but I’m looking for a verifiable source of American Chestnut. I have a nice little spot in mind away from all of my Chinese trees and would like to get a few started. I also realize it’s a little early for nuts right now but thought I’d go ahead and put in my...

Anyone have access to a few Paw Paw seeds they’d be willing to share? Thanks Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I realize it’s getting late but if anyone would like a few late dropping chestnuts send me a PM and I’ll try to get some out to you. These will come off trees that are consistently dropping mid-October. I ship small flat rate priority box. Cost is $9.40. I take PayPal friends and family and...

First chestnuts of 2021 As the title says, this is off the Dunstan tree located at my home orchard. Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got my first chinkapin oak acorns today off a tree I grew from seed someone gave me eight years ago. These things sure are slow growing. This is the only two acorns it produced this year. Maybe it’ll have a better crop next year. I have plenty of other white oak species in area so...

Just received my flyer from Kansas Forestry Service about their annual tree sale. In my experience, they always have nice trees and have been very easy to deal with in the past. So if you live in a state that they will ship to you might consider ordering. Here’s a list of what they have...

Anyone think they may have some AC nuts to share this fall? I’m putting in a request early. Lol Matt

Just thought I’d post a pic of what I have growing in my root pouches this year which isn’t very much. Finally moved them outside the cage. The red planter behind them is where I grow my chestnuts. From left to right. First two rows are Concordia Oaks. There is a Sleeping Giant Chestnut mixed...

Here’s a good example of what to expect when you buy the Dunstan trees from Walmart under probably the most ideal growing conditions. My soil isn’t all that great but but I have amended the soil to the best of my ability for ph levels and this tree is at my house so it is watered when needed...

My brother and I recently finished another hog trap gate. He was in charge of welding everything up and I was in charge of the electronics piece and getting that part of it to work. Our first gate was built 5-6 years ago and was a saloon style gate but it was too small and not very wide. So...

Can’t tell much from the pic but here is a broad view of my home orchard. Top pic is two years ago and bottom is yesterday. Somehow I missed taking one last year at this time. I top worked the tree on front left this year so that’s why it seems to not have grown very much. Sent from my...

Here are some Gillet grafts I’ve done on Chinese rootstock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Dad helped me do a little grafting yesterday. We have extensive experience grafting pecan but none whatsoever when it comes to Chestnut however we figure the same techniques could be applied to each so that’s what we did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
