Chestnut TreesUpdated: October 20th, 2023
Created: October 11th, 2023There are three specific trees and a number of 'wild' ones.
They mostly came from my initial sowing of seeds in the far north west. 1 Noting that rodents where eating them I planted one elsewhere with protection. That is now a 23' tree producing many nuts but only a few of any use.
2 One I planted on Kaia's grave, and 3 one that Gavin grew from other seed was planted on my dad's grave this year: the walnut having died.
There are also a few that have sprung up, maybe from squirrels burying some.
Harvest
2023 October 20th Today I scavenged the ground under the 'main' tree and collected some >1.5Kg : will see what weight that is when they have dried for 2 or 3 weeks.
Later further a further <1.5Kg from trees to the west. There are three trees two of which I can see I planted/sowed the seeds as there are plastic tubes attached to them which were to protect the seeds and saplings from rodents and deer etc.
