I have a chestnut orchard.i started buying 1 variety we chose. Later, I tried the refrigerator method for 2 years with zero success. I found Morgans first video after he did it. So determined i tried it the third year with 96% success!! I've been doing this method ever since. We now have 1000s of trees. Thank you Morgan!

I'm in Western WA where it's cold enough to snow most years, but I failed to sprout a single chestnut for 2 years straight, using buckets & seeds from a big tree on our land. Google says 2-3 months at 34-40 degrees. So I'm gonna try the fridge method now...Maybe if I include damp sand in the bags, that could increase the chance...? Might have to treat them now and then with hydrogen peroxide solution to stop mold.

@@WilliamFluery What is a cheesecloth used for? Cheesecloth is a versatile tool with many uses, including: Cheesemaking Separates solid cheese curds from liquid whey. Cheesecloth is used to make many popular cheeses, including ricotta, queso fresco, and paneer. Straining Cheesecloth is often used to strain broths, stocks, custards, and more. It can also be used to juice lemons without the seeds or pulp. Sifting Cheesecloth can be used to sift flour or confectioners' sugar. Cover a jar with cheesecloth and secure it with a rubber band or canning ring. Bundling herbs and spices Bundle herbs and spices in cheesecloth and tie with twine to simmer in sauces, broths, or wine. Wrapping Cheesecloth can be used to wrap fruitcake while it's ripening, or to wrap poultry while cooking to keep it moist and tender. Decorating Cheesecloth can be used to drape around windows for Halloween, or at rustic weddings. Thickening Cheesecloth can be used to thicken yogurt. Cheesecloth is made of woven cotton cloth. It's safe to use in the microwave or boil, and it won't affect the taste or quality of food. Cheesecloth comes in different grades, which are distinguished by the number of threads per inch. The more layers of cheesecloth, the finer the particles it will trap.

You can root tree branches and get new trees from them, takes a bit of patience but it's not hard. Some perlite, water, maybe root hormone and time, and you can get a bunch of new trees for free :) if you're interest google it, people often do that for roses, but those big flowered roses don't have good roots, they are usually grafted and won't grow well from such cutting.

I'm SO OBSESSED with the apple tree we used to have when I was growing up here. My dad and mom said it was a 6 variety tree and that they had a dog (way before I was born) who broke off a few of the grafts. When I was a kid, we had these apples all over the tree...they were the MOST DELICIOUS things ever. They were red/green speckled, and had that weird corking near the stem...yah know, the rusty brown stuff that's rough and looks like a scab? Anywho, they were the best! You could eat them raw and sliced or bake them...pretty much anything. They were sweet and somewhat tart, and were juicy and somewhat crisp and dry, but juicy! No mealiness whatsoever. I don't even know what the rootstock was, and/or if the whole tree reverted. Anyway...I dream of finding those apples again!

If people want to grow trees, you can start with collecting seeds from forests are parks nearby. If you know tree species, you can look for high quality specimens and collect acorns from under the tree, and start those the same way Morgan does chestnuts. Not sure about marketing them, but you can try.

Everything was very interesting. What you do actually sounds fun. I don't have any of those trees, it's actually nice to look at your trees.

Very informative. I'm in a completely different climate zone and looking some different varieties but still found this helpful. Thank you.

I got 60+ acres that I just logged out from red pine due to them being mature, this gives me ideas.

That looks like a classic Stormy Kromer hat. I grew up seeing them in Wisconsin where they originated in the early 20th century. More recently they are made in the UP of Michigan. Great product.

Kind of like e-commerce something I learned a lot about when I work at Universal Studios. Interesting might be a different way of packaging shipping and having your labeling system for shipping and receiving.
