Anyone want some chestnut seedlings?

7 years ago

I have about 20 chestnut seedlings in pots, free for the taking. These are volunteers dug out of the ground beneath a large chestnut tree. They vary from 1 to 2 feet tall, and are in 4" and one-gallon pots. Not sure what kind of chestnut, it was here when I moved in 20 years ago. The parent plant produces nuts (obviously) and doesn't show any signs of disease. Anyone want these?

Thanks....but no thanks :-) I also have a large horsechestnut tree on my property and the squirrels plant the conkers everywhere!! I have horsechestnut seedlings popping up in every single container and here and there throughout the planting beds and even in the lawn. I spend a lot of time in spring pulling them up and throwing them away. I've probably pulled 20-30 already this year!

Just to be clear, what I have is the edible chestnut, not horsechestnut.
