I've got several that are 9-12 years old and never produced. I'm thinking firewood. Anyone see any reason to keep them?

I'm in the same boat. I have 30 ish in the 8-10 year old time frame. None have produced yet. All have grown well and are in optimal locations for producing. I could not consider cutting them down because they will produce at some point. Maybe this year fingers crossed. With getting so many years of growth on them when they do produce it should be enough acorns to make a difference. My chestnuts all produced after about 3 years but just recently got big enough to have an impact / draw and they are 12-15 years old.
Unless you're just hard up for firewood, I'd leave them be.
