growalot Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Well the Chestnut Hill deliveries made it to NYS and my Daughter picked me up 2 of the Dunstan chestnuts....I now need to go dig the holes for them . She just texted me so late morning Turkey hunt is cancelled...changing clothes and grabbing a shovel instead of gun... By the way here is the shipping scheduled: http://files.constantcontact.com/0c89445a101/606fa13f-3264-496d-ac4c-f4ea5e4befd7.pdf http://www.chestnuthilloutdoors.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

growalot Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 No not this year last I picked up 2 for 26.00 a piece...the price is based on size. These 2 are B-Dy gifts from my daughter, and I'm watching their dogs this weekend....she said they are taller than her and shes 5'6".

moog5050 Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Those look great Grow. I was thinking of Dunstans but not sure how they would fair. How many years until they produce? Those look real healthy! Edited May 29, 2017 by moog5050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) I bougbt one with nuts on it and it prlduced 3 the year after planting. The one new one may produce a couple. Tag says 3-5,depends on weather. 10 -20# by 10 years. We get much colder then you and e everything is exposed to the NW winds. Mine are doing great! But fence wide and high..preferred browse as well and I use grow tubes. Edited May 29, 2017 by growalot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) They come on 3 gal pots with thick bamboo stakes that I plant with them and are secured all along the stem. We had to undo that and bend the stems to fit in car and trunk...not one problem will use bio survey tape to secure again.
