We are definitely bucking the trend vs nature for sure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Makes you wonder how these things even make it in that wild if they are that picky, huh? lol Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

This isn’t normal. Looks like the soil is very moist but it’s hard to tell with the pic zoomed in so much. You may be suffering from a form of damping off. Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doesn’t take much. Especially on young tender growth. Look up dicamba drift. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looks like it’s caught some overspray. Has someone been spraying herbicide nearby? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They look good to me. You’ll have top growth before you know it: Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes! Unless you can get these on clearance don’t buy into the hype. Dunstan is just a chestnut with mostly Chinese genetics. Nothing special. I will say that the Walmart trees do give you about a three year head start if you can find them for the right price. One of mine if blooming this year...

Yes! Those were the good old days. I’ve lost count at the number of discount Walmart trees I’ve planted over the years. Most end up surviving too. Matt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been scouting my Walmart waiting for markdown day. Still a little early yet. Probably another month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can’t remember if someone on here sent me some American chestnut nuts or not? I didn’t do a very good job of who sent me the seed. In any event I ended up with four viable nuts and here they are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve had issues with delayed grafting failure. They look great, even for a few years, then all of a sudden it’ll just die. The one that I’ve had take so far has been a Buck IV on Chinese. It’s only a few years old now so who knows if it’ll survive long term. I’m not gonna give up though and keep...

Trying my hand at grafting again. This time with correct rootstock and graft stock to hopefully lessen incompatibility issues later on. Here’s a Black Satin graft on mollissima root stock. Matt Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Have any of you guys been fertilizing your bigger trees? I usually spread some 10-10-10 or 13-13-13, if I can find it @ 1lb. per 1” of trunk diameter btw. In case anyone was wondering. Anyway the last couple of years, my daughter has been showing rabbits in Spring for her FFA project in school...

They’ll put on top growth but it’ll be much slower. Just wish it would hurry up and decide to warm on up a little. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I grow outside. I don’t know about yall but I was looking at the forecast for next week but not much is going to germinate with highs in the mid 60s. I think there are a couple of days where the temps are in the 70s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
