Dunstan Chestnut Trees

[mcbuck58]

I have close to 500 in the den. The rest are out back on the covered patio. She also didn't like i used some of her flower pots out front lol.

I have several sawtooth. The oldest ones being 8 years old. They are over 14 foot tall but not producing. I ordered these online but can't remember where. I think @Shooter77 sent me the link. This will be my first time doing any oaks. So I'm not sure what to expect with those. But they'll be in the den to on a table. I'm going to get me a couple lights from harbor freight so I don't have to keep rotating so much.

Bright side. The kids are enjoying it lol.

I definitely won't be planting all of these. But will plant several. I got one part of my field that's pretty steep that I don't want my son to have to bush hog one day. I'm planting it back in oaks going to start with sawtooth and add yearly.

I think i have lost one apple tree. It never has done great. And when i scratch the bark away it's not green. But it is near the bottom about 3 inches up. I'm going to take it out and replace it this week.

First pic is overlooking part of my upper field taken from the shooting house. The upper part is all apples and some crabapples. You can see the road going down left handed into the bottom. Those 5 on the lower side are sawtooth. Pic of sxs beside one of those.

The local farm supply store has agreed to sell some of my trees. He's going to be ordering me some 1 gallon containers to transfer them over into also.

Wow. You do have a house full. Got your work cut out for you. Looks like a beautiful farm. I'm new to sawtooth oaks. Think I planted 23 this past fall. Bought them from a buddy. They were 3 year old trees between 10 and 13 feet tall. Some had acorns laying in the pots from the trees. He grows them from seed. They are from some big sawtooths from South Carolina. He says they are like Dunstans and start producing at 3 to 5 years old. He has hundreds planted on his farm up to 10 years old. Here's some I planted.

I've always heard they can produce in 3-5 years. But seems it's more in the 6-8.


I apologize. The sawtooth in the pic are 5 years old. I looked back at when I planted them.

So maybe next year
