I'm in Virginia and recently learned about the chestnut blight and American Chestnut trees that are cross bred to make them blight resistant. I want to grow a few on my property. But your video really opened my eyes to how wide ranged the chestnut trees are and multiple varieties. I like the variety that releases the nut for places where animals can benefit, but I already give the squirrels and deer most of what I grow now. I should consider the one that stays in the burr.
so this video has made me understand why I could not roast my chestnuts and have them taste good - I have the wrong kind on my property! Thank you for this information :)
Made me realize I don't think Ive ever seen the edible kind. I liked them because they are such pretty trees that looks like they flower long because the flower structure is pretty even after the pettles fall. ... makes me wonder how the edible kind would do here and look.
Nice presentation, we have a 60 acre chestnut tree farm in Northern MI with a mixed variety of trees as well. We've tried some Dunstan but have a number of Hybrid American trees successfully growing as well as Bouche de Bétizac, Precoce Migoule, Colossal, and Chinese varieties.
Today we found a chestnut tree here I. Johnstown Pennsylvania and I wasn’t sure if the nuts were sweet or horse so I investigated. Quite a shock to find the tree! We lived here for years! Do not even know how it got planted. Thank you for your video!
Have you contacted The American Chestnut Foundation about that tree? It's important to know where each one is located for their mission to reintroduce the American Chestnut to the Eastern U.S.
Great info. I just bought some acreage with 85 Dunstan Chestnut trees and hope to grow more trees from the seeds (and hope to have them attract deer this fall). Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Holy moly! The squirrels have been bringing these husks that look like little limes in my garage for years. I didn't know what kind of trees these were from. I'm guessing there is a chest nut tree somewhere in my neighbourhood.
Thanks for sharing some knowledge with us. My son and I planted two Dunstan Chestnut Trees in 2017, and we hope to see our first harvest this coming Spring (2022). What type of fertilizer would you recommend me using for these trees?
I have several dunstans. The one getting the most sun is doing very well and it is next a productive but unknown chinese chestnut that has sufficient sunlight also. I have never fertilized and soil is very poor, but the trees are doing well on their own. A few days ago I smelled the trees a 150 yards away as their tassels were 'blooming'. I have a squirrel problem and just eliminated one this morning and will keep my eyes open for other squirrels. I have read abut weevils and will have learn more about them.
Sorry for the delayed response. We just use composted organic chicken manure, but any balanced fertilizer with a good amount of nitrogen would work. Soil pH should be acidic, below 6.5. If higher, use sulfur to lower pH. - Michael
Thank you! That is very good information. Just a recap on my comment above: my 2022 and 2023 harvests just supplied a hand full of Chestnuts. One thing I plan on doing this year is pruning some of the lower limbs from the two trees. I feel this will help give them a boost and provide more energy towards producing fruit. One thing for sure, it will be easier to mow around them.@@burntridgenursery591
During WW2 children in Eastern Germany had to collect and bring a whole lot of chestnuts to school, as a requirement to go to the next school grade the following year. At the time the calendar year was the same as the school year. People rumored that likely those chestnuts were being made into flour, for the food rations, as grains were scarce, due to the war. StuffI heard as a child.
I planed a bunch of chestnuts a few days ago. I want to have my own chestnut tree,because the wild chestnuts are always getting cleared out,by other people,as soon as they start to drop.
Great video! I've got 44 chinese chestnut trees that are mature, and while I can roller up many, I still have to use a fruit basket to pull down the opening burrs before they drop their nuts when I'm not around and the deer are, so I am regularly opening the burrs. Can you recommend any double layer leather gloves? I find that even thick welder's gloves get easily penetrated by the spines on burrs. Thanks again!
We have Chinese chestnuts and they are relatively small trees compared to yours. We've always picked them pretty quickly but no matter what, if we leave them out without roasting or boiling they will get buggy. Is their anyway to avoid this??
Living in Canada, in Ontario, and I was wondering what zone these are good for. I would like to grow a sweet chestnut but am not sure what region would be too cold. Any suggestions? I am growing a Horse Chestnut for ornamental reasons, and there are quite a few in the area doing well.
We have a tree. Should we rake the spikey husk remains and place in a separate compost pile or do they decompose on their own where they fall? We obviously can't walk around barefoot too.
The spikey hulls will eventually decompose on their own. Since they don't drop until fall when you might not be going barefoot anymore, mowing several times between then and now should decompose them sufficiently to go barefoot in summer. - Michael
I’ve been trying to find some info on the size of sweet chestnuts. I have one in the yard of the house I’m renting. Some of the nuts are quite small with a squishy end. Are these worth harvesting?
If you just have one tree and the nuts are small/squishy, they may not be getting properly pollinated. Most chestnut trees need another tree nearby for cross-pollination. However, even trees that are getting pollinated will often drop "blank" nuts before dropping the fully developed crop. So check back in a few days and see if any larger nuts are falling. Most chestnut cultivars make nuts around 1-1.5" across, though seedlings or true American chestnuts (Castanea dentata) nuts can be a bit smaller.
@@burntridgenursery591 Is it still ok to harvest and eat the smaller sweet chestnuts? We have just one chestnut tree so all nuts are clusters of 3 and they mostly open and fall free on their own. Some require the leather glove treatment. I pick them 3 times a day to stay ahead of the wildlife and harvested about a gallon or two large ziplock bags worth. Currently for last 2 weeks just sitting open on the counter drying. Hope that's ok.
@@flat6fever680 There shouldn't be any harm in eating small/undersize chestnuts as long as there's no sign of rot (discoloration/bad smell/bad taste). Sounds like you're getting a nice harvest. Chestnuts will get sweeter when they've dried a little, but we normally keep them refrigerated to try to delay the drying process - they are best for roasting when still fresh, and are starchy like a potato. If drying completely, they can be boiled to rehydrate (like beans) or are sometimes ground into flour. Here's a link to our video about cooking chestnuts: th-cam.com/video/Mql8PXTZblw/w-d-xo.html
@@burntridgenursery591 Thank you for the reply. My nice shiny nuts that I proudly and excitedly picked all went bad. I let them sit to dry in a large tray and some bugs got into them and destroyed them all within one week. Looked like maggots. Sorry for gross description. I picked them up 3 times a day as they fell and they looked great but then quickly got a mildew like covering on them and got soft. Happened so quickly. Next year I will freeze them immediately or something.
As I live in Wales would it be possible to ship some Dunsta.n chestnuts to me to stratify a.nd grow on.I spoke to someone in America and tol me it is not possible?
i live in Wales. About ten years ago I planted some small chestnut plants grown from supermarket chestnuts up on the hill behind my childhood home. This year for the first time there are chestnuts on the trees. The trees are now about 15 ft tall
We recently bought a house in northern Spain and have around 11 or 12 of these trees full of chestnuts I thought they were conker trees . Anyone know the best way to cook them ? TIA
Let them dry ("cure") for a few days - then roast, boil, or steam them. They should be fairly easy to peel. Here's a video we did on cooking with chestnuts: th-cam.com/video/Mql8PXTZblw/w-d-xo.html
European chestnuts are the most drought-hardy, and blight isn't an issue in Colorado, so that's what I'd recommend. Chestnuts need an acidic soil, at least when they're getting established, so if you have alkaline soil make sure to spread sulfur around the planting area to help lower the pH.
Last time I counted it was over 70 varieties, but have discarded some since then or lost tags. In our last catalog we listed 24 varieties for sale. - Michael
So far they seem to be immune, but time will tell. Their trees are 25 years old and not dying from the blight yet, but it's really too soon to know how they will hold up against it.
Why is it that you ‘harvest’ the nuts, but Squirrels and Jays ‘predate’ them? Was it that you planted those Chestnut trees from seed and managed and nurtured their growth, you therefore own those Chestnuts? Only you have a right to them, they are an important source of food for you, essential to yours and your family’s survival ? The wild ‘Predators’, can go get their food elsewhere? They have many options other than Chestnuts to feed their family’s. You are extremely knowledgeable about Chestnuts, that’s patently obvious, you should constantly manage to harvest them before they are predated, eventually, given your skills, you may have those delicious Chestnuts all to yourself. Well done!
True chestnuts (Castanea sp) should be sweet or starchy, but not bitter. Double check to make sure you aren't eating horse chestnuts (Aesculus hippocastanum) which are bitter and somewhat poisonous! Real chestnuts have pointy nuts, while horse chestnuts are round. The other way to tell them apart is by the leaves - chestnuts have a single leaf, while horse chestnut leaves come in sets of five or seven.
Yes, if you're talking about Castanea mollissima. Make sure you're eating true chestnuts, not horse chestnuts (Aesculus hippocastanum) which are poisonous and apparently do not taste good.
