A Low Tech Organic Chestnut Farmer

[@esthermarcen7587]

mmmmmmmm I toast them in the fireplace, is such a nice treat, In Catalonia where I grew up when a child we could buy them on the street during fall, now in Finland, I need to cook them myself but is worth it.

I also grow certified-organic chestnuts at Kensho Farms in Boonsboro, MD.

@@taylorlogsdon6086 Yes, I planted about 100 chestnut seedlings and the trees are getting to be a good size and quite productive. The catkins are currently blooming.

I have some chestnut seeds in a propagator, not sure if they'll take though. Good video.

I am interested in keeping the chestnut storage conditions. I have 1 ton chesnut. How can I save for 1 year? You can help me?

[@OldSchool1947]

What do you do about the weevils?? Also I don't see you running over the husks with your Nut Wizard.

[@truthseeker1161]

How does he keep the worms out? Mine have worms before they even fall off the tree.

I would love to grow a few chestnut trees. I live in zone 5. Anyone know what the best one to grow for me would be?

[@jobe8764]

Issac Newton Grow the Auburn Hybrids. They are proven mass producers from university trials from Florida to Missouri. They have weeping branches under load, so I don't think snow would be a problem. Plant chestnut trees high and dry, avoid moisture retentive soils at all cost.

[@IsaacNewton1966]

@@angeloddrev that's great to know! I planted 4 of them. If they make it through the first winter, I should be ok.

[@patrickkozlowski8273]

I don't of the other varieties but i was fortunate to find a place thats been selling reg ol chestnuts and so far in the 5 i planted in the past 3yrs theyve been growin about 18" or so a yr where i live

[@nolanholmberg311]

I’m lucky enough to still have one of the few remaining American chestnut trees that wasn’t decimated by the blight 100 years ago. There’s a small isolated patch of them here in the middle of North Carolina.

HELP! How do you (organically) deal with the CHESTNUT WEEVIL?

[@simonkoeman3310]

One. By. One.

[@I.witness.2000]

Thank you very much. So is it possible to grow in Bangladesh?

[@dictionaryzzz]

No it’s too warm there.Chestnuts need a cold winter.

[@christopherbrown7546]

chestnuts absolutely ARE nuts. straight nutty to say they're grains. grains are also all monocots. i'm speaking technically of course, i guess you can say whatever you want. brown rice is not even close to nutritious as a chestnut, to further illustrate the nuttieness of the analogy. i can't even finish watching because that's such an absurd premise to lead with. fact check your videos and edit so you don't make your guests look foolish
