OmenHonkey

I Want Fancy Words TOO !
So if I plant the Dunston's from Walmart will they make Chestnuts in South Ga or not? I bought 3 Saturday and will be planting them soon.

Those you sent me will be going in pots tomorrow. Thank you kindly, Pappy. :cheers:

Be sure to protect them from squirrels and chipmunks. Those little suckers will smell them from half a mile a way and fish 'em right out of the pots. :)

They`ll have to chew through 1/4 inch heavy gauge galvenized hardware cloth, and risk 22 longrifle solids to get to em. :D

Dunstan Chestnuts

I planted two in Fannin county on Saturday so I'll find out in few years how well they do. Purchased them at Walmart in Acworth.

I have never tried growing them, but I hope they do well for you.

I may have to come and visit the baby trees in a year or two and go crappie fishing with you.

I was just wondering if Nic's trees are a foot tall yet? ~:)>)

Picked up 2 at the local Walmart.

Planted them yesterday. A little mulch on top and they should be good to go. Will stake and cage later.

You can see the sawtooths are blooming nicely in the background.

This is very exciting news. Would love to see the American Chestnut restored and thriving in our forests.

If anyone see them on sell let me know. I am currently doing my last thinning and have more room to plant. Thanks

I did find them on sale but they only had 3 of the bigger ones. If anyone runs across the bigger trees on sale let me know. Thanks

I planted a grove of Dunston trees. Ten of them in Clermont. They did well the first two years and all died of root rot the third year.
Very disappointing.
