mmmmmmmm I toast them in the fireplace, is such a nice treat, In Catalonia where I grew up when a child we could buy them on the street during fall, now in Finland, I need to cook them myself but is worth it.
I am interested in keeping the chestnut storage conditions. I have 1 ton chesnut. How can I save for 1 year? You can help me?
I have some chestnut seeds in a propagator, not sure if they'll take though. Good video.
You don't want to walk around barefoot in this orchard! lol...
I also grow certified-organic chestnuts at Kensho Farms in Boonsboro, MD.
how much do you sell chestnuts? cooked , uncooked?
Hi John, I’m looking for MD chestnut growers, are you still in business?

@@taylorlogsdon6086 Yes, I planted about 100 chestnut seedlings and the trees are getting to be a good size and quite productive. The catkins are currently blooming.
How does he keep the worms out? Mine have worms before they even fall off the tree.
What do you do about the weevils?? Also I don't see you running over the husks with your Nut Wizard.
AMAZINGLY LOVELY
how do you keep the squirrels from caring all your crop away?
Larry Olson dogs that live outside will do the job

I would love to grow a few chestnut trees. I live in zone 5. Anyone know what the best one to grow for me would be?

Grow the Auburn Hybrids. They are proven mass producers from university trials from Florida to Missouri. They have weeping branches under load, so I don't think snow would be a problem. Plant chestnut trees high and dry, avoid moisture retentive soils at all cost.
@@angelkotilainen that's great to know! I planted 4 of them. If they make it through the first winter, I should be ok.
I don't of the other varieties but i was fortunate to find a place thats been selling reg ol chestnuts and so far in the 5 i planted in the past 3yrs theyve been growin about 18" or so a yr where i live
I’m lucky enough to still have one of the few remaining American chestnut trees that wasn’t decimated by the blight 100 years ago. There’s a small isolated patch of them here in the middle of North Carolina.
HELP! How do you (organically) deal with the CHESTNUT WEEVIL?
One. By. One.
Thank you very much. So is it possible to grow in Bangladesh?
No it’s too warm there.Chestnuts need a cold winter.
Lovely
Are these chestnuts hybrids?
How do I buy chestnut from you ?

chestnuts absolutely ARE nuts. straight nutty to say they're grains. grains are also all monocots. i'm speaking technically of course, i guess you can say whatever you want. brown rice is not even close to nutritious as a chestnut, to further illustrate the nuttieness of the analogy. i can't even finish watching because that's such an absurd premise to lead with. fact check your videos and edit so you don't make your guests look foolish
