Chestnut Trees

Is there a place near Birmingham (or Central AL) to buy Chestnut trees?

Holmestead Farms shows they have them, between Sylacauga and Millersville just off SR 148 on CR 7 in Clay County. Don't know anything about pricing. 256 four oh four 4316. You can look them up on the web.

select wal marts will have them gardendale usually does.

You can buy online from several sources, Mossy oak native nursery, wildlife group, chestnut hill treefarm..

Thanks for the info.

the walmart trees are from Chestnut Hill Farms....

I've got about 500 Chinese chestnut saplings for sale for $5 each. Theyre between 10 inches and 2 ft tall. Pm me if your interested.

Those dang trees are from the devil. We had a great big chestnut tree in our backyard growing up. OMG chestnut wars were painful. It sure did hurt stepping on them with bare feet which I had to have done over a thousand times.

If you want to plant a bunch of them they're really easy to grow as well. Have grown around 1000 in the last 3 years.

After you get a few going check out the threads on here. QDMA forums They have discussions on grafting and doing alot with chestnuts (and a lot of other species).

And before one of you yahoos starts complaining about QDM you can stick it in your ear. This site has tons of information for anyone regardless of your QDM likes or dislikes.

I also endorse the QDMA forums. There are a lot of guys on there sharing their knowledge re: trees and habitat improvement, among other things.

I second the QDMA forums. A ton of knowledge on that site and a great bunch of guys who really try to help. I recieved about 50 chinese chestnuts in the mail from WPD on that site, and direct seeded them, a few months ago and i am excited to see how they do.

These are some of the trees I've got for sale.

Are you sponsored by Jack's?
On a serious note, when do they drop the nuts

lmfao^^

No haha. I had somebody with a lot of jacks cups so that's what I used this year haha. But they drop anywhere from from mid September to mid October. I picked up the first chestnuts September 19 and the last few October 12.
