Why? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The chestnuts had 4/5 leaves and persimmon had maybe 2/3 on them already. They came from nativ nurseries so they were already maybe 2 foot tall. Should I check in a couple of weeks and remove any leaves that fall off? Planted day before yesterday before a heavy rain Sent from my iPhone using...

They have vent holes from halfway to top Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I seated them all the way to ground and then put mulch around them to hold them in place and choke out weeds/grass. Hopefully that will do it. I may go back and put a little more mulch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I live in central Mississippi. Summers are brutal here. I planted some chestnuts and persimmon in tree tubes (vent holes at top) Is it going to be too hot in the tubes in the summertime?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Any suggestions on pruning to salvaging this persimmon? Someone ran over it with a tractor Was planning on cutting off all lower limbs and maybe leave top two one on each side? Should I cut it off where it’s broken at an angle? Or just leave the break?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. I really appreciate your help Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found them. Got about 50 seeds out of ones that had fallen. Question now is do I put them in the fridge until spring and sprout them?? I appreciate the location on them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Found them. Thanks. Hopefully I can get some seeds from the ones I picked up off the ground Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have a suggestion where I can order American chestnut and chinquapin and possibly persimmon seeds I can sprout/plant. There was one place I found but it was like $5 a chestnut for the seed. Crazy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
