STRATIFIED PACK of 30 DUNSTAN Chestnut Seeds Nuts tree Seed Deer Food Plot Mast

Description: This is a stratification pack of 30 Dunstan Chestnut seeds ready for immediate shipment. ALL OF THE STRATFICATION PREP WORK HAS BEEN DONE FOR YOU! (Chestnuts have to be cold stratified in order to reliably sprout and grow into trees). Once delivered, you just have to put them in the fridge and keep them moist until spring potting or planting. These seeds were floated to ensure viability, packed in a soil-less mixture, and placed in climate control at 35-39 degrees for the stratification process. These vented gallon bags of 30 nuts simply need to be put in your refrigerator and kept moist (do not allow them to freeze). By March they will have sprouted and will be ready for potting (or planting as long as the threat of frost has past for your area). Instructions for potting and/or planting will be included with the shipment. **NOTE** Sprouting success is very high for this method, but there is no guarantee that ALL 30 nuts will sprout, sometimes a few can go bad during stratification (they'll turn moldy and you simply remove and discard them). Dunstan chestnuts are strong 15/16th american x chinese chestnut hybrids (Castanea dentata x mollissima), fast-growing trees that often produce nuts in 3-5 years. Best planted in groups of 5 (for pollination and nut production) with 25' spacing. These are TOUGH, well-adapted trees for USDA zones 5-8 (map pictured). I recommend tubing and/or caging them to reduce deer browse and damage from rubbing. I have over 11 years experience planting and raising these chestnuts and am a certified Nursery Grower in the State of Alabama. However, laws do NOT allow me to ship to CA, AZ, or OR. Orders from those states are not permitted and will be cancelled. If you'd like a different quantity, please let me know and I'd be glad to work with you. Thank you!
