I say you got three good sources there. I hope you can share those with someone else, I am good. No longer need any. The Qing from the University of Missouri are good chestnuts from what feedback I receive from multiple sources. Thanks Hoytvectrix

Two Great Sources for Chinese Chestnut Seedlings #1. The Wildlife Group in Alabama Toll Free (800) 221-9703 1245 County Road 53 Tuskegee, Alabama 36083 #2. Route 9 Cooperative in Ohio (Formerly the Empire Chestnut Company - Greg Miller is one of the Smart Men on...

Thanks, Grizz. I had checked earlier and believed their crop was poor due to the drought they suffered. I sent them an email to get a direct answer. I am not interested in chestnuts they sale for culinary purposes. So, I expect to get an answer from them shortly, one way or the other.

Need Chinese Chestnuts for a Person to Plant I am through with all my chestnuts. One week later I get a message from a man that wants to plant some. He has 4 seedlings that have survived from past seasons and wishes to add to them. Anyone on here have some Chinese Chestnuts they are willing...

I suggest you order from MDC and a couple of others. Availability can be an issue from time to time with weather impacting regions differently. By interacting with multiple nurseries, you can generally find what you are looking for. I have used Missouri and Tennessee state nurseries with...

Thank you for the kind words. Thank you for planting trees and giving back to the wildlife. NativeHunter can advise you which apple tree varieties are best to avoid cedar rust. For me personally, I realized later in life, that it was more rewarding to give than receive. I believe I can say...

I remember when I first discovered the old QDMA Forum. The knowledge and experience of the brain trust was impressive. I spent many hours reading and learning from those that had more experience than I. Their willingness to share practical knowledge that worked proved to be our downfall when...

I started in 2014 with my Chinese Chestnut activities. It has been a great ride. Not every year is the same: I retired, 5 years later I suffered a mild heart attack, buried both of my in-laws. settled my mom's estate, and other issues that occur in an older person's life. I have shipped over...

Looking Good Southside, Your other buddy that was wishing he got some chestnut seedings to plant, is he still interested in some seedlings? I think I can spare some if he will plant and protect as you have. Let me know. How was your trip? Congrats on a great job planting, it is the part of...

I had some real good news yesterday. I have buried chestnuts for two years, in Fall of 2021 & 2022. Digging them up is no fun but it works if you are playing the numbers. I filled 4 dorm/beer fridges up and put 2 gallon buckets and small plastic paint containers in the hole. So in the 2023...

KSQ2 I buy what is called pine fines from my local garden center in my town. In the past I would use pine bark mini but over time their quality control slpped greatly on the size of that product. Going to the pine fines has really worked well for me. As yoderjac does, I don't use the pine...

Scotty's First Event

End of Our Journey, Scotty came to 1204 my house number on the Friday in January 2017 that Trump was sworn into office. On this Friday, Jan 26th, 2024 - which is approximately 7 years, one week later I had to put him down. He has 16 days of suffering which I hope to remove from my memories as...

Long Cut, How did your loggers do for you? I am assuming they have finished up their work. Hope all is well down your way. wbpdeer
