Очень круто! Вы замечательные люди. Сам хочу посадить у себя каштаны, но в этом году меня постигла неудача - семена не проросли. Буду делать новую попытку на будущий год. Спасибо вам!

Americans always say in the refrigerator but dont mention where to put it in the freezer or in the other part
@troypit2 ай бұрын
It's almost like the "other part" is the refrigerator. The freezer isn't necessary. 2-4 degrees in the fridge and you'll be growing trees in a couple weeks or months pending on the species.

Thank you very informative. I am interested, that how can even a 8 month old tree produce fruit ? Does it due to the fertilizing ? I though a tree from seed would need 6-8 years to produce.
@liam3143 жыл бұрын
Its just genetic variability, but its very rare for seedlings to produce fruit in their first year. You would need to plant hundreds of chestnuts to find one that fruits in the first year.

Does it need the cold germination if it's from the tree in my yard in the tropics? Some of the seeds already have shoots.

I planted a Conker and it rooted fine and it also sprouted great. The sprout broke however. Does that mean the Conker is dead and won’t grow anymore?

Do you check your chestnuts first by floating them in water? Those that sink are plantable and those that don't have air pockets and are not viable? Thank you.🇨🇦

I just had a bag of horse chestnuts given to me, I can use this same process? I'm thinking yes, but I don't want to waste these by incorrect method. Great video, thank you.🇨🇦

Could you please expand on the soil being used and fertilizer? Is the latter function of the soil being used in the first place? Thank you.

According to the american chestnut foundation the best mix is one part peat moss,one part perlite, and one part vermiculite. I agree. I had terrible luck using organic seed starting mixes as too much moisture is present. Too much moisture ruins the chestnut seed starting process

Great video! Just a piece of advice tho...you need a means of backflow protection on your "fertilizer injector". At the very least provide an air gap at the fertilizer bucket/utility tub and a vacuum breaker at your shut off valve to prevent back siphonage. Since the fertilizer would be considered a high hazard tho, you need an RPZ that's certified every year. Google it if need be.

Good to Know Bro! I think I did plant my Chestnuts with pointy end down as it is usual for a bulb to have roots coming out of that end and the stalk from the top. like a Tulip. They did not grow, just rotted. I planted them outside. Maybe this year I will put them in the fridge. And I did not know that about them liking acid soil.
