    I take some planting dirt in a big enough container,put sawdust on top of it and the chestnuts underneath the saw dust.
    The thing with sawdust is that it contains less humidity then dirt and protects the nuts from strong sunlight and heat.
    It worked for walnuts i grew years ago.

    I live in southern Ontario Canada, would I still plant it in February????🥶

    • @PlantHouseGarden

      Chestnuts generally prefer to be planted in the spring or fall when the soil is workable and the weather is milder. Planting during these seasons allows the trees to establish their roots before facing harsh winter conditions or extreme summer heat.
      In southern Ontario, it's typically recommended to plant chestnuts in late April to early June or in September to October. I hope this will help 🤍🌳

    I work at a private school that has a grove of pecan and chestnut trees. I have been gathering up the nut and planting them in the ground when hiking etc . I live in Chattanooga and have left these seed /nuts everywhere between Georgia to North Dakota . I plant them in the ground and move on . Will these grow or am I wasting my time ? Thank you

    • @PlantHouseGarden

      That’s a wonderful effort! Thank you for doing that! Whether these nuts grow depends on factors like climate and soil. Pecans and chestnuts generally do best in warmer areas with well-drained soil, though wildlife might eat some before they sprout. While not every nut will make it, enough might find the right conditions and thrive, so it’s certainly not a waste of time! Oak trees are also a good choice, as animals are usually less interested in them. Keep up the great work!

      @@PlantHouseGarden thank you . I planted approximately 100 to 125 chestnut nuts around an abandoned cemetery yesterday in the Mentone Alabama area . I usually place two nuts in each location . Sometimes I spread black pepper on top of the soil to keep deer away . I know it won’t last till the next rain but I’m trying . Thank you .

    Don't they need cold stratification in order to germinate? I buried mine in moist dirt and put them in the fridge for a few weeks. Now I'll try to germinate them.

    I have another question, do chestnuts need Scarification in order to germinate? Do they need scarification? Or no? Do chestnuts need to be scarified? I need to know if chestnuts needs stratification or not. I need to know this. Do chestnuts need stratification in order to germinate?

    • @PlantHouseGarden
      @PlantHouseGarden  Год назад +2

      Chestnuts do not typically require scarification for germination, but they do benefit from a process called stratification. Stratification involves exposing seeds to cold, moist conditions to break seed dormancy and promote germination. This mimics the natural conditions that chestnuts would experience in the wild during the winter.

      I put my chestnuts in damp seed starter mix in my refrigerator on Oct 24. By January 2, 20 of the 22 had roots (while still in the refrigerator). Once they got a root, I potted them and placed in an area that got as cold as 37 degrees. All 20 are now above the soil. This week I'll move them under grow lights in my basement.

    I have a question for you 🙋‍♂️, where can I store chestnuts before germination? Where can I store them at? Where? I want to keep the chestnuts viable for a very long time. I want to do this. How can I keep the chestnuts viable when I decide to germinate it? How will I keep them viable longer?

    • @PlantHouseGarden
      @PlantHouseGarden  Год назад +3

      Store chestnuts in a cool, dry & dark location. A temperature between 32°F to 40°F (0°C to 4°C) is ideal. The storage area should have good ventilation to prevent moisture buildup.

    • @stuartwells4133
      @stuartwells4133 Год назад +1

      You can store your Conker seeds in the fridge wrapped in some damp kitchen roll and then placed into a bag with air holes for about four to eight weeks 🤞🏻 hopefully after 4 to 8 weeks roots will start to appear then you can then put them into pots. It’s something I’ve only a few days ago tried to do myself.

      @@stuartwells4133 If you store them in the fridge like that, they will start rooting. That's not storage. You just create them the impression of winter period and the seeds start the rooting process. The best way to storage is to keep them dry, out of light and moisture.

    So what is the reason why chestnuts do not need Scarification? What are the reasons for that? Why do they not need to be scarified (nicked)? Why? Please explain.

    • @PlantHouseGarden
      @PlantHouseGarden  Год назад +2

      Chestnuts can grow without the need for nicking because their outer shell is thin and lets water in easily. This helps them start growing on their own.

  • @billforest6666
    @billforest6666 24 дня назад +1

    I am confused. I would appear you did not have a "cold" period. Did you add a cold period or straight from the tree? If not, then the conventional cold period wisdom is faulty. Please clarify; It would be amazing if you skipped that part and still had success.

    • @PlantHouseGarden
      @PlantHouseGarden  17 дней назад +1

      Great question! I actually didn't give the seeds a cold period and went straight from the tree to planting. I was surprised by the success without it, which suggests that chestnut seeds can sometimes germinate without the conventional cold stratification process. That being said, a cold period can help improve germination rates for some, but in my experience, it wasn't necessary this time. Every seed batch can be different, so I’d recommend trying both methods to see what works best for you! Thanks for watching

    Does not need to be stratified? When ever I have put young chestnut trees outside, they are taken away by squirels. Three years and still no chestnut tree. At what point will the tree rats leave them alone so they can grow in the sun outside?

    • @PlantHouseGarden
      @PlantHouseGarden  11 месяцев назад +1

      I understand your frustration with the squirrels taking away the young chestnut trees. While chestnut trees don't necessarily need stratification, it seems like protecting them from squirrels is a priority. You might consider using protective measures like netting or cages until the trees are mature enough to withstand squirrel activity. As the trees grow and establish themselves, they may become less appealing to squirrels. Patience is key in this process. I don't have specific ideas at the moment, but I will try to find a solution and let you know. Thank you!
