Prepping for the planting season
It’s time to take the tops off of our beds and the yard cat Billie works very hard to keep the squirrels away.
Chestnut cultivars
a mix of chestnuts from 3 different trees
While our website only offers the best of open pollenated cultivars for the midwest, making a decision about which trees to get can still be difficult. Your best option is to buy some of each, 3 different named cultivars is a good place to start because some trees may do better than others in your soil + climate context than others. Additionally, you will need multiple trees for pollination. For a more in depth description of cultivars, I suggest the University of Missouri resources on Chinese chestnuts.
Persimmons
It has been a great year for the wild and native persimmons in my area. We are looking forward to offering seedling in the next couple years.
