The chestnuts I got from a friend a little over 2 years ago have survived their second winter! (And I got a third from my friend late last year!) When do you think these babies would be ready to be planted in the ground safely?

These are from one of the remaining true American Chestnut trees that survived the blight. (My first post on these trees has a picture of the tree parent — it’s a historic registered tree in my city, on private property.)

Also, I’ve been working with my friend to get a bunch of the chestnut seeds to a local conservation group here in Oregon, and they’ve been planting them in areas they’re restoring! Super excited about that!
