In the fall we stored vast numbers of seeds from trees like Paw Paw, Hazelnut, Chestnut, Walnut, and so many more. We mixed the seeds with an informal mix of sawdust, woodchips, charcoal and more and put them in crates that would protect from rodents but allow moisture to move through as needed. They were then buried in deep piles of leaves and woodchips to insulate and buffer from the winters intensity. SO SO many seeds did a great job of cold stratifying and are really ready to grow now!

Happy growing!
Many years ago my father buried a five gal. bucket of chestnut seeds in the fall. In the spring we planted rows of sprouted seeds. I was a small boy at the time. I am now 76 ears old. I very much enjoy your videos. Still planting a garden every year.
Great video as always. After watching so many of your videos I feel I could be successful in establishing my own nursery. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so generously
he's good at showing how it doesn't take fancy techniques, infrastructure, money or skills. You just have to get out there and do it. :)
We just love the way the hens are so happy to help.
Smart girls.
You have such great systems. We're looking forward to your next video on planting up those little beauties. We have about 150 little chestnuts and 100 Carpathian walnuts potted up. Hazels and black walnuts weren't so successful. But all thanks to you guys for your excellent advice. Oh yes and we adopted 3 chickens last week. It's all coming together 😎
I just “unboxed” my hazelnuts and butternuts last week. I used some old nursery pots with 1/4” wire mesh inside the bottom and top to protect them over the winter and buried the pots in a pile of lawn clippings and leaves. Worked great, and now they are planted out in a nursery bed. Can’t wait to see the progress. Thanks again for all the wonderful “seeds” of inspiration that you provide with your videos. I will definitely try to expand this system more in the future.
Would really appreciate it if you could post some video & discussion about the planting phase next. I was not really sure how to tell early roots from stems. Especially on the butternuts, many of them had both. I mostly planted them sideways, figuring they would sort themselves out.
Pawpaw seeds are so easy to plant, I've got a foot long section of rebar that I cold worked into a flat chisel tip and I use this to stab the ground, then insert seed and kick the dirt back over it, rinse and repeat.
I love your patience with the hens and how much trust they have in you. They know that you digging = food lol. thank you for another great informative video.
That's actually helpful, this video made seed management clearer in my mind. The difference between a tightly closed crate and a crate with a tiny opening for the voles is striking.
Thank you for all of the informative and entertaining videos. All of the plants and trees that I ordered from EdibleAcres arrived well packed and in very good and healthy condition. Most have been planted, and a few others are heeled in, waiting warmer, drier weather later this week. I highly recommend.
I learn something new every time I tune in. 👍
It's as exciting as Christmas! I enjoyed everything about this video and I appreciate all your work.
I have to say, I’ve been following and I now have 24 chickens. Last year I got my first chickens. I had the five girls in what was a sand enclosure. I gave them so much deliciousness and didn’t care what they ate. My garden this year is now six inches of black soil. The girls are in a specific enclosure, I am late to this, but I am so excited to see what happens this year. Chickens are the smartest things in gardening I have ever utilized.
Very excited for my pawpaws planted from stratified seed this year
Moved my seeds from 5 gallon bucket to airprune beds a couple of weeks ago. Chestnuts, apples, pears and just added osage orange and honey locust today.
Just came back from a long day trip, can't wait to watch this when I'm rested.🤗
Literally digging in for alive treasures.🤗💛🤗
So interesting! Now I need to go back and find the video on what you did with them last fall.
Love your little helpers with their happy little noises. I miss having my own very much, so this was good for my heart.
You literally taught me a lot with this video… We pass up so many things like this in Tennessee at my other house it’s amazing how much you pass up free things like this collecting old pears old apples hickory nuts black walnuts everything you mentioned I’ve seen up there even Poppaw’s go up there..
I have to say that the "search for buried treasure" aspect makes this So Much Fun! :)
Very cool! Loved watching your chickens
The chickens are so cute ! Yet not overly ruley
Coming back to watch this again after your more recent video was a good reminder to make sure to keep rodents away from nut seeds!
VERY important!
Video not long enough!!
The chestnut slips that I got from you last fall are doing well!!! Thanks
I made some videos showing the status of the garlic I bought from you. Its growing wonderfully. Thank you!
I just planted around 20 walnuts, I put into sawdust for winter storage after I saw your video.
It became a little moldy but most look alright and were already sprouting.
So easy. It even dried out once time.
I would love to expand and professionalize this process
As a heavier person, when I try this plastic tote method, I'll brace the top with a piece of scrap wood before covering. Hopefully, won't have any collapsing. Thanks so much for showing what can happen!
That makes a lot of sense... I have accidentally stepped on an unsupported part of a crate and it folded in really easily. If I don't catch that and fix it then rodents get in VERY easily...
Very nice Sean love all the new seedlings 😊
Learnt something new. Very interesting and thank you for showing how it's done. The off siders were getting excited lol. Blessings from Australia.
Best unboxing video ever
Can't wait for the next video
Just lovely
Great video. The seeds have done well. Having a bit of chicken tv was greatly enjoyed!
That’s an excellent video
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Helpful video, thank you.
This is brillant!
I love your ability to repurpose everything.
Thank you such a great an informative video, much appreciated!
❤❤❤your longer videos. thanks for the continued inspiration🌱
Absolutely love everything you do! ❤
Can you do an update on black soldier flies bins, successes and failures.
Great system
So early there's no option for subtitles yet 😂
Bit harder to watch for me without text
Tried this method with hazelnuts, peach and apple seeds. This worked for peach and apple seeds, but for hazelnuts, the failure rate was about 60%. Maybe I did it wrong, or maybe the seeds were bad.
I planted a bunch of hazelnuts and acorns last autumn. I sure hope some germinate
Truly aspiring!
Thanks for another informative video. I get more useful info from your videos than anyone else. I collected a lot of seeds last fall, put them in pots with soil and surrounded them with mulch. With hardware cloth on top. Now I’m worried I didn’t bury them deep enough and wondering if the voles found a gap!🤔
all those sprouts are so inspiring and make me a bit jealous and disappointed in myself, I only have a few dozen ziplock bags in my fridge!
My apple seeds and rhubarb decided to sprout i the fridge a few weeks ago, turns out they will jsut start sprouting after a certain time period even thought the environment wqas stable through the whole winter. So I took those out already. (it's not time to sprout my seedlings yet, I still have a few feet o snow...)
I wonder if I can get your seeds and anything bare root, shipped across the border, hmmmm. I think if I drove down and picked it up, that could be allowed. I will have to look into that. I haven't been across the border since I was a kid. Easy times back then.
It all good with me as for the time coverage ok no need to go NUTS over the time, it all will work out in time.
But gotta love chickens lol lol I think they are in love with the worms... lol lol
So we could say the time was a little NUTTY but Lovely... hehe
Thx and cheers nice to spring waking up.
Surprised the voles didn't consume more the of worms and less of the seeds.
I have to put my seeds in the refrigerator to cold stratify mine. I had really bad germination rates though.
Those two boxes of hazels! What a difference a small gap can make! Are your air prune beds fairly impenetrable to voles/mice? I might have to build some. I have my nut seedlings in milkcrates and I'm losing baby trees every night to mice digging up the seed. I clearly need to up my spring protection game. This is my first spring without a cat and what a difference that has made.
Milk crates will not hold back any critters. Great element and useful in many ways but won't protect. Search 'air prune' in our video list, we have some examples you can see...
I like your system. Do you think buckets with lids could work as well. Some small aeration holes could work.
I use buckets with holes drilled in the bottom.
Sean, could I do this method in a smaller box for say the chestnuts? A 2 litre ice cream box would that be ok, if I buried it a bit in a compost bin?
Hi Chooks, you looked liked you enjoyed your feeding frenzy there!
You could certainly try!
Best unboxing video ever lol. Really a wonderfully encouraging system. I’m thinking it would be possible to have one crate with multiple varieties? As long as the germination times were similar?
I use mesh produce (oranges) bags to keep nut varieties separate, but in one bucket with sawdust - for all those I have just a small amount of.
do plant paw paw in air prune beds? or is it better to plant in the ground so they can stay the 2nd year?
Great question. Both are valid. The colder your climate the more you may want to let them grow in an actual garden bed for 2 years...
Does anyone have chestnut seed available for sale since Edible Acres is out of stock?
Wait, so does this mean if I just collect all our stone fruit seeds this year and do this process they will be ready/start germinating next spring... I have been doing this all wrong, normally start by removing all of the outer shells, which is a pain in my hands to do. Thank you for this follow up and would love to know if you have a success rate on this method :)
Never need to remove the outer shells, just plant and let them open it up!
There's more worms on your property than in the rest of the state combined!
This video feels dark :D
feels bright to me... spring is here!
I always hear that fruit seeds (pear/apple & cherry) won’t produce the same kind of fruit as the Tree it came from. Do you have good luck with yours? Are you still taking a risk the fruit won’t be great? Also I have baby Cherries naturally come up each spring from my Cherry tree, would those be worth transplanting and letting them reach adulthood?
Most cultivar fruits that you buy in the store come from grafted (cloned) plants. Planting from seed will yield different genetics and possibly fruit with different genetics- that’s not necessarily a bad thing! Lots of great information on RUclips and the internet at large on this topic. Check out David the Good and Mother Earth News- they have some good videos and articles.
Edit: I should note that the Edible Acres channel also has some great info on this topic!
I think it is worth trying to grow plants from seed... Cherries should be relatively close to their parents in particular. Apple and Pear can be a wildcard, but even then still worth growing and learning from!
Sick
Amazing! How does one go about breeding fruit trees? Is every fruit tree just a graft?
We grow as many from seed as possible, that feels like a really nice way to keep the genetics open
@@edibleacres You breed root stocks from seed or you can get real fruit trees from seed? I thought most fruit trees were clones

I have Moles. So many Moles. I see them run by me as I’m prepping to plant. WHAT DO I DO? They are ruining my yard and gardens🥺
Could you borrow a friend’s terrier to run them off from time to time? I never have squirrels in my back yard, though they live in the front, because of my dogs.
Moles are pretty helpful overall, voles seem destructive. Help support snake habitat, invite cats into the garden more, etc...
Where can tree seeds be purchased?
You can search online for them, we collect them locally.
